Renault Megane III Grandtour 1.5 dCi – 302,000 km driven, so it can't be bad

For sale: a proper and honest Renault Megane III Grandtour, reg. FKF-648.
A diesel Rellu registered on 4 March 2011, with 302,000 km on the clock – and precisely for that reason this is the best possible advertisement for the car.

Think about it logically for a moment:
if the car were actually poor, it wouldn't have managed 302,000 km.
This example has therefore in practice already proven its purpose.

Under the bonnet sits the legendary 1.5 dCi (81 kW / 110 hp), an economical diesel known for low consumption and durability. This engine has been seen as such a successful package that the same family of engines has appeared in “nicer marques” such as MB (Mercedes‑Benz) – so the engineer's pen hit the right spot at least once.

Specifically, a replacement engine was fitted at 283,844 km because the workshop made an error and the engine broke during the timing-cover repair – in the replacement engine the entire timing set, water pump and tensioner rollers were renewed and a service was carried out; receipts are available + the air conditioning has been serviced and works well.
