The RENAULT MEGANE (2002-09) 3DR SPORT HATCHBACK 1.6 VVT 115 DYNAMIQUE is a compact, petrol-powered family hatchback with three doors and a sportier look than a basic runabout. It sits in the popular small-car class, competing with used Ford Focus, Vauxhall Astra and Volkswagen Golf models. mycarcheck.com has recorded 364 checks covering 224 different VINs, showing cars shoppers have researched. With its 1.6-litre petrol engine and Dynamique trim, it suits commuters and first-time buyers wanting an everyday car with extra presence. The three-door layout gives it a coupé-like feel, but rear passengers need to climb in, so it is less convenient than a five-door for family duties. Checks show an average recorded mileage of 96,000 and annual use of 4,000 miles; cars had about four previous keepers on average. The average private-sale valuation was £400, a guide rather than a guarantee, so inspect condition and history carefully.
