Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test conducted on April 1, 2026 at 165,185 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that previous mechanical or structural issues have been addressed. While the history shows instances of failure immediately preceding passes, the ability to secure clean re-tests suggests the owner is proactive in rectifying faults as they are identified by the DVSA. At 165,185 miles over 18 years, the Scenic averages approximately 9,177 miles per annum, which aligns closely with typical UK usage for a family vehicle of this age. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 13,000 miles covered between November 2023 and October 2024, and another 4,438 miles covered between October 2024 and April 2026. This regular operation suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stagnation which often cause rubber perish and fluid degradation. A buyer should focus their inspection on the components that caused the failures in 2023 and 2024, although the provided record does not specify the exact nature of those defects. Given the age and mileage of this Renault, a thorough check of the structural integrity around the subframe and suspension mounting points is essential, as these are common areas for corrosion. One should also inspect the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as high-mileage vehicles frequently exhibit significant wear in the 160,000-mile mark.
