RENAULT MEGANE Common

As of 2025 Q4, 132,903 RENAULT MEGANEs remain registered in the UK — still a familiar sight on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 425,685 in 2014 Q3 — only 31% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 292,782 cars. They're disappearing at roughly 10,900 a year (8.2% of what's left), a pace that would halve the survivors by around 2033 if it held — though in practice the last, most-cherished examples tend to linger far longer.
