2010 Renault Grand Scenic 1.5L Diesel · MT60 ABV

The vehicle’s most recent MOT, conducted on 2023-03-16 at 160,824 miles, resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. However, the absence of subsequent MOT tests—over three years without a valid certificate—raises concerns about its current roadworthiness. The historical pattern shows alternating pass/fail outcomes at the same mileage (160,824 and 153,847 miles) without recorded defects, suggesting either inconsistent testing or potential oversights. No clear trend of worsening issues is evident, but the lack of recent data limits confidence in its mechanical state. The vehicle’s mileage of 160,824 miles at 16 years old aligns with average annual usage of ~10,052 miles. Notable gaps exist in the MOT history, with no records between 2021-02-26 (137,215 miles) and 2022-03-12 (153,847 miles), spanning 16,632 miles. This suggests possible periods of non-compliance or infrequent testing. The rapid accumulation of 23,577 miles between 2021 and 2023 could indicate increased usage, potentially accelerating wear on components like suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions. The absence of detailed defect reports complicates assessing long-term reliability. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension system for worn coil springs or binding calipers, as these are common issues in older vehicles with high mileage. Structural integrity, particularly around the chassis and body panels, warrants scrutiny due to the age and potential for corrosion. The lack of recent MOT data means the vehicle’s current compliance with safety standards is unverified, necessitating a thorough independent inspection. Brake systems, tyres, and exhaust emissions should be tested for wear, as these are critical for roadworthiness and may have been overlooked in prior assessments.
