The RENAULT MEGANE (2002-09) 5DR HATCHBACK 2.0 VVT DYNAMIQUE REV 06 is a mainstream five-door family hatchback, offering everyday space without an estate or SUV’s bulk. It competes with the Ford Focus and Vauxhall Astra. Mycarcheck.com has recorded 21 checks across 14 distinct cars, a useful snapshot of examples researched by UK buyers. The 2.0-litre petrol engine gives this Dynamique a livelier feel than modest-engined family hatchbacks, while the five-door layout suits commuters, couples and small families. Its distinctive design, comfortable character and cabin make it an appealing used car, though fuel costs may be higher than with smaller-engined rivals. Check the car’s condition and service history carefully. Checks show an average mileage of 91,000 miles and annual use of 8,000 miles; cars had over four previous keepers. The £400 average private-sale valuation is not a guaranteed asking price, so treat it as a guide and assess a Megane on its merits.
