The RENAULT MEGANE (2002-09) 3DR SPORT HATCHBACK 2.0T 230 RENAULTSPORT R26R is a rare, focused second-generation Mégane: a three-door hot hatch with a turbocharged petrol engine, with emphasis on performance rather than comfort. In the UK market, it sits among sought-after enthusiast cars rather than family hatchbacks.
mycarcheck.com records 61 look-ups covering 34 different VINs, so the figures offer a useful snapshot, not a full market census. The average private-sale valuation is £13,800, with average recorded mileage of 39,000 and annual mileage of just 1,000. Looked-up cars had about 3.7 previous keepers on average in these checks.
Its limited-production, stripped-back character makes it appealing to collectors and drivers seeking a weekend car; it is less suited to families needing rear-seat ease or low running costs. Compared with rivals such as Ford Focus ST and Honda Civic Type R, the R26R stands out for its distinctive, track-focused driving feel.
