If a Renault Megane fails, does it fail again?

45.6% of Renault Meganes that failed an MOT failed the next one too, against 38.9% after a pass (2019–2024, n = 65,390). The failure most likely to come back is visibility: 41.9% of those fails recurred at the next MOT.

What does a Renault Megane cost to run in a fleet?

Of every 100 Renault Meganes tested at age 5, about 21 failed the MOT first time; at age 10, about 48. These are one-year rates for different cars tested in the same year, not a fleet followed over time; the steepest one-year step in this cross-section is between cars aged 9 and 10, 7.99 percentage points (2024).

Does the Renault Megane fail inspections in other countries too?

In the Netherlands, 55.8% of Renault Meganes failed their periodic roadworthiness inspection, against 50.8% for all cars there (2024 by country, n = 47,210 inspections).

Inspections abroad point the same way: in Norway, Finland and the Netherlands the Renault Megane also fails more often than the national average.

Renault Megane MOT: quick answers

What is the Renault Megane first-time MOT pass rate?

54.3% of first attempts passed in 2024 (103,379 tests). Retests after repair are excluded; cars fixed at the test centre (PRS) are shown separately.

Why does this number differ from other sites?

Other sites may count retests or all attempts. This page uses 103,379 primary tests: 45.71% failed first time and 61.6% passed when cars fixed at the test centre (PRS) count as passes. The age-adjusted MOT Risk Index 131 is shown separately.
