Should you buy a used Renault Megane Expression?

The Renault Megane Expression has an overall MOT pass rate of 74.2% across 787 real MOT tests — roughly in line with the UK average.

A typical Renault Megane Expression owner drives around 5,267 miles per year. If the car you're looking at is significantly above this, expect more wear on suspension, brakes and tyres. If it's well below, the vehicle may have been sitting unused — check for perished rubber, corroded discs and stale fluids.

Before committing to a purchase, we recommend running a full vehicle history check on the specific car. This will reveal any outstanding finance, stolen markers, write-off history and mileage discrepancies that the seller may not disclose — and that the MOT data alone can't tell you.
