The RENAULT MEGANE (2002-09) 5DR HATCHBACK 1.5 DCI 100 EXPRESSION is a practical five-door family hatchback in Renault’s mainstream range. It offers more space than a city car without SUV bulk. Its distinctive styling stands out among rivals such as the Ford Focus and Vauxhall Astra. The 1.5 dCi diesel suits commuting and longer journeys, while five doors and useful cabin space make this Mégane a sensible choice for couples, small families or budget-conscious drivers. Expression trim covers everyday needs, and economical running is a key attraction. On an older example, check condition and service history carefully. Mycarcheck.com records 28 checks across 21 distinct VINs: a helpful but modest sample. Recorded cars averaged 126,000 miles, 10,000 miles a year and 3.8 previous keepers. The average private-sale valuation was £300, based on checks rather than a guaranteed current price. Overall, this Mégane offers an affordable, roomy alternative to better-known family hatchbacks.
