2007 Renault Scenic 1.6L Petrol · FD57 AAJ

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a recent MOT pass on 19 June 2026 at 86,583 miles. While the car passed its most recent inspection, the tester flagged several advisories regarding brake disc condition and light oil misting on the offside rear shock absorber. This indicates a shift from the clean results seen in 2024 and 2025 toward more frequent wear-related advisories. The recurring mentions of pitted or scored brake discs suggest that while the vehicle remains roadworthy, the braking system is entering a phase of more frequent consumable replacement. The mileage history shows a consistent, low-usage pattern averaging approximately 4,500 miles per year, which is low for a 2007 model. The record shows steady progression from 30,928 miles in 2012 to the current 86,583 miles. There is a notable period of lower frequency between 2019 and 2021, but the vehicle has maintained regular annual testing since then. This low annual mileage often implies less mechanical strain on the drivetrain, though it can lead to age-related degradation of rubber components, such as the tyre perishing noted in the June 2023 test. A prospective buyer should focus on the braking system and suspension components during a physical inspection. The history shows a pattern of brake disc wear, with advisories appearing in 2022, 2022, and again in 2026. The recent advisory for a leaking offside rear shock absorber suggests that suspension components may soon require attention. Given the age of the vehicle and the low mileage, I recommend checking all rubber bushes, seals, and tyres for age-related cracking or perishing, as the 2023 record specifically highlighted tyre degradation.
