Recorded failure items include: “Offside Front Front constant velocity joint gaiter insecure to the extent that it no longer prevents the ingress of dirt”; “Offside Front Front position lamp(s) not working (1.1.A.3b)”; “Front Windscreen washer provides insufficient washer liquid (8.2.3)”.

Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2008 model year cars.
- Electronic parking-brake, key-card and dash electrical faultsModerate
The Mk2 Scenic combines several classic Renault weak spots: electronic handbrake glitches, key-card recognition trouble and instrument or body-control faults that can be maddeningly intermittent.
- Front suspension bush, drop-link and spring wearModerate
The Mk2 Scenic’s weight and soft setup mean front bushes, links, top mounts and springs wear regularly, producing knocks and vague steering long before the car feels truly unsafe.
- Diesel injector, turbo and EGR troubleSerious
Mk2 diesels can still make sense, but neglected 1.5 dCi and 1.9 dCi cars suffer from injector leaks, tired turbos and EGR-related running issues that quickly wipe out the value advantage.
