2013 Renault G Scenic D-QUE TT Energy Dciss 1.6L Diesel · HV63 ZHK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a recurring pattern of deferred suspension and consumable repairs. The most recent test in December 2025 at 144,916 miles passed with advisories for worn front suspension arm bushes and discoloured rear indicators. This follows a failure in January 2025 where the same suspension bushes were flagged, alongside a critical structural tyre failure. While the vehicle is passing its tests, the persistence of worn arm bushes suggests that repairs are performed reactively rather than through preventative maintenance. At 144,916 miles over 13 years, the Renault Scenic averages approximately 11,000 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a family vehicle. There is a notable increase in usage between November 2021 and January 2024, where the vehicle covered over 32,000 miles in just two years. This period of higher intensity correlates with more frequent flagging of mechanical failures, including brake efficiency issues and anti-roll bar linkage wear. The mileage accumulation has remained steady since the 2024 test, placing consistent load on the drivetrain and suspension-related components. A buyer must specifically inspect the front suspension geometry, as the tester has identified worn pins and bushes across three separate tests between 2024 and 2025. The brake history is also concerning; the 2021 failure due to low parking brake efficiency and an electronic malfunction warning indicates a potential for expensive electronic or hydraulic faults in the braking system. Close attention should be paid to the rear axle, specifically checking the corroded coil spring noted in 2023, to ensure that rust has not progressed into the structural integrity of the mounting points. Tyre management appears to be a point of neglect, with multiple entries for perishing, damage, and structural bulges dating from 2018 through 2025. The buyer should verify that the current set of tyres is of adequate age and free of sidewall. Given the previous failure of the electronic parking brake system in 2021, a thorough diagnostic check of the braking module is required to ensure no intermittent faults remain that were not captured during a standard MOT inspection.
