2008 Renault Grand Scenic 1.6L Petrol · HV08 AHL

This 2008 Renault Grand Scenic presents a remarkably clean MOT record. The most recent test in July 2025 at 87,083 miles passed with no defects, continuing a trend of fault-free annual examinations stretching back to at least July 2022. The sole failure in July 2023 was rectified and passed on the same day, with no underlying issues noted. The maintenance trend is stable and positive, indicating consistent care and no recurring mechanical or structural problems over the last three years. The recorded mileage of 87,083 miles over approximately 18 years equates to roughly 4,838 miles per year, which is low for a vehicle of this age. The annual increments are steady: from 79,293 miles in July 2022 to 82,476 in July 2023, then 84,899 in July 2024, and finally 87,083 in July 2025. That is a consistent 2,500 to 3,000 miles per year, suggesting light but regular use rather than prolonged standing. No large gaps or sudden jumps appear, so the odometer reading aligns with a pattern of modest annual mileage. Given the clean history, a buyer should still conduct a thorough in-person inspection. Focus on the suspension components, particularly the rear axle bushes and front lower arm bushes, as these are common wear items on the Grand Scenic. Check for corrosion on the subframe, sills, and floorpan, especially given the vehicle’s age. Brake discs and pads should be assessed for condition and thickness, as low-mileage use can lead to uneven wear or binding. Finally, verify the service history for timing belt and coolant changes, as these are critical on the 1.9 dCi or 2.0 petrol engines. The MOT record alone gives no cause for concern, but a pre-purchase inspection remains essential.
