Buying Tips for 2001 Renault Scenic Mk2
- Test both key cards, the digital dash, windows and the parking brake repeatedly because intermittent faults are common on the Mk2
- Check front springs, drop links and lower-arm bushes carefully; these heavy MPVs chew through front-end parts on UK roads
- On diesels, look for smoke-free cold starts and proof of injector, turbo and EGR care rather than just a recent MOT pass
- Make sure the clever cabin still works properly — folding seats, trays, latches and switches are costly annoyances when neglected
