The RENAULT MEGANE (2002-09) 3DR SPORT HATCHBACK 1.5 DCI 86 OASIS is a compact, three-door diesel hatchback aimed at buyers wanting practical everyday transport without the size or cost of a family car. In the UK used-car market, it sits among alternatives to the Ford Focus, Vauxhall Astra and Peugeot 307. mycarcheck.com records 65 checks for this version, covering 13 distinct VINs, so the figures offer a useful snapshot rather than a full market census. The average private-sale valuation is £400, while checked cars show 121,000 miles on average, around 4,000 miles driven annually and approximately five previous keepers to date. This economical diesel suits commuters and budget-conscious drivers, and the hatchback is useful for small households or as a second car. Rounded styling gives the Megane character beside Focus and Astra rivals, though three doors limit rear-seat access. Check history and condition carefully: mycarcheck’s sample averages over five previous keepers.
