Renault Megane (2019)
2019 Renault Megane
CarHunch analysed 2,553 real MOT records for the 2019 Renault Megane. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2019 Renault Megane passes its MOT slightly more often than the UK average (82.9% vs 80%), but nearly a quarter of these cars have experienced a dangerous defect at some point—a genuine concern for safety-conscious buyers. Petrol models are noticeably more reliable than diesels, with an 85.4% pass rate compared to just 77%, so fuel type matters meaningfully here.
The median mileage of 28,247 miles is reasonable for a five-year-old car, though the average pulls higher at 38,634, suggesting some high-mileage examples skew the figures. With nearly 4.7 advisories per vehicle and 0.86 failures on average, expect routine wear items and minor issues—a pre-purchase inspection should specifically check suspension, brakes, and electrical systems, where Meganes typically flag problems.
Petrol vs Diesel
Pass rate difference of 8.4 percentage points — worth knowing if you're choosing between the two.
What to check before buying a 2019 Renault Megane
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- ⚠️ 23.1% of these vehicles have had a dangerous defect recorded. Enter the reg below — the full MOT history will show exactly what was flagged and whether it was resolved.
