The RENAULT MEGANE (1996-03) 5DR HATCHBACK 1.8 16V FIDJI is a practical five-door family hatchback from Renault’s first-generation Mégane range. It sits among mainstream compact cars, offering easier access and more cabin space than a small city car, while remaining simpler to park and run than a larger family model. With a 1.8-litre petrol engine, the Fidji is suited to everyday commuting, errands and family trips, with useful rear doors and a flexible hatchback boot. Its stronger performance than basic small-engined rivals can make joining faster traffic less demanding, while the Mégane’s distinctive rounded styling gives this older Renault more character than some contemporaries. mycarcheck.com has four checks across three VINs, a snapshot rather than a market-wide guide. Records show average mileage of 67,000, annual mileage of 29,000 and 3.25 previous keepers; the £100 average private-sale valuation is unusually low, so treat it cautiously.
