The RENAULT MEGANE (1996-03) 5DR HATCHBACK 1.9 DTI 80 EXPRESSION is a practical five-door compact family hatchback. It offers more room than a city car, yet remains manageable around town. Its 1.9-litre diesel was designed for buyers seeking useful everyday transport and lower fuel use than a comparable petrol model. That makes the Megane suited to commuters, couples and families who value a roomy cabin and steady journeys over performance. In a class crowded by the Astra and Focus, it stands out as a comfortable hatchback with a diesel character; condition, maintenance and age matter more than equipment today. mycarcheck.com has recorded two look-ups, covering one VIN, so these figures are a small snapshot rather than a market guide. The car averaged 102,000 miles, 4,000 miles a year and five previous keepers; its £100 average private-sale valuation should be treated as indicative only, especially for a car this old.
