Renault Megane MOT reliability
In 2025, 55.3% of Renault Megane MOT tests were passed first time, against 72.8% for all cars. Cars of the same ages pass 66.2% of the time, so the Renault Megane does worse than average for its age, by 10.9 points.

- Figures cover Great Britain (England, Scotland and Wales). Northern Ireland is not included.
- Licensed counts are vehicles with a current tax or exemption at the end of each year (or the latest quarter). SORN counts are shown separately, from 2007.
- This version groups DVLA’s detailed model names “MEGANE SPORT”, “MEGANE SPORT 1.6E”, “MEGANE SPORT 225”, “MEGANE SPORT 16V”, “MEGANE SPORT AUTO”, “MEGANE SPORT 1.6E AUTO”. Engine size, gearbox, number of doors and fuel are ignored, so every engine and gearbox counts together.
- Survival compares the number still registered (licensed or SORN) with the most licensed at any year end since 1994, plus any first registered after that year. Other versions are those of the same model whose licensed count peaked in the same years, up to 2001.
- First registrations count vehicles registered in Great Britain for the first time, including used imports.
