RENAULT MEGANE (1996-03) 5DR HATCHBACK 1.6 16V RXE AUTO is a compact family hatchback from Renault’s Megane range. Five doors, a cabin and automatic transmission suit errands, commuting and town journeys. In the UK used market, it is an older alternative to an Astra or Escort, not a tiny city car. mycarcheck.com records only three look-ups across two distinct VINs for this exact version, so its figures are a limited snapshot. Average recorded mileage is 117,000, with annual use of 4,000 miles and about 4.3 previous keepers. Treat these as context, not guarantees, and check any individual car’s history and condition. RXE trim and the 1.6-litre petrol engine offer straightforward, comfortable motoring, while the automatic suits drivers who prefer not to change gears in traffic. Compared with newer family hatchbacks, expect older-car simplicity rather than modern safety or economy; it may suit budget-conscious commuters or small households seeking an easy-to-drive runabout.
