The RENAULT MEGANE (2009-14) 5DR HATCHBACK 1.9 DCI DPF 130 EU5 PRIVILEGE TOMTOM 6SPD is a practical five-door hatchback in the UK’s mainstream class, competing with the Ford Focus and Vauxhall Astra. It gives commuters and families cabin space and comfort without the size or running demands of an SUV. mycarcheck.com recorded 32 checks across 18 distinct VINs, a modest sample rather than a complete picture of the model. Checked examples averaged 130,000 miles and about 11,000 miles annually, with roughly three previous keepers. The average private-sale valuation was £1,600, although condition, history and location can change a car’s price. Privilege trim adds TomTom navigation, while the 1.9-litre diesel’s 130 horsepower and six-speed gearbox make Megane well suited to motorway commuting and family trips. It is a comfortable alternative to a Focus or Astra; before buying, check maintenance records and diesel filter condition, especially on cars used for short journeys.
