The RENAULT MEGANE (1996-03) 5DR HATCHBACK 1.8 16V EXPRESSION is a practical, five-door family hatchback from Renault’s late-1990s and early-2000s range. It sits in the UK’s mainstream compact-car class, offering more room and versatility than a small city car while remaining easier to park than a larger family car. Its petrol engine and everyday layout make it a straightforward choice for local trips and commuting. The five-door body suits couples, small families and commuters needing rear-seat access and a useful boot. Its 1.8-litre petrol engine gives the Megane a livelier feel than basic hatchbacks, while its comfortable, straightforward character makes it a credible alternative to period Ford Focus and Vauxhall Astra models. mycarcheck.com has just five look-ups covering two VINs, so its figures are indicative only: average recorded mileage is 94,000, annual mileage 3,000 and previous keepers 6.6.
