2010 Renault Scenic 1.6L Petrol · HK10 AEO

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, showing a clear trend of reactive maintenance following mechanical failures. The most recent test in November 2025 at 122,800 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, indicating that the owner is addressing previously identified faults. While the history shows a pattern of failing on suspension and tyre components, the clean result of the last two tests suggests the car is currently maintained to a functional standard. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 16-year-old family vehicle, averaging approximately 7,675 miles per year. The data shows steady accumulation over time, moving from 89,080 miles in 2021 to 122,800 miles by late 2025. There are no significant gaps in usage, with the vehicle covering roughly 8 thousand miles between most annual MOT intervals. This suggests the car has seen regular use rather than suffering from long periods of standing, which helps explain the gradual wear on rubber components and consumable items seen in the record. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension, as this is a recurring point of failure. Records show the offside front lower suspension arm ball joints and nearside front anti-roll bar linkages failed multiple times between 2020, 2021, and 2024. These components are prone to wear, and the rubber bushings should be checked for play or tearing. Additionally, the history shows frequent failures for tyres reaching limits or sustaining damage in 2023 and 2024, indicating that the owner often waits until a tyre is legally bald or visibly damaged before replacing it. The mechanical history also notes a past electronic parking brake malfunction in 2019 and a split drive shaft CV boot in 2018. While these were rectified, a prospective buyer should verify the parking brake operates smoothly without warning lights and inspect all CV boots for grease leakage. Given the lack of any reported structural corrosion or emissions issues in the record, the recurring wear on the front-end suspension hardware remains the primary technical concern for this vehicle.
