2012 Renault Grand Scenic 1.5L Diesel · RV12 AAN

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a clean pass in the most recent test on 23 February 2026 at 95,851 miles. This result follows a successful history indicating that any previous issues have been addressed. While the record shows a failure in February 2025, the immediate subsequent pass the following day suggests the owner is proactive in rectifying defects to maintain the vehicle to legal road standards. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical low-use requirements for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 6,800 miles per year. Between February 2023 and February 2026, the car covered 16,186 miles, showing a steady and predictable usage rate. The five-mile gap between the February 2025 failure and its subsequent pass indicates the defect was likely a minor component failure, such as a blown bulb or a minor adjustment issue, rather than a major mechanical failure requiring significant garage time time. Given the lack of recorded mechanical advisories over the last three years, a physical inspection should focus on age-related degradation that MOT tests do not always capture. A buyer should check the rubber bushes in the suspension arms for cracking and inspect the coil springs for signs of corrosion, as these components fatigue on Renault models regardless of mileage. Because the mileage is low, it is also vital to check the brake discs for pitting or seized calipers, which can occur when a vehicle sits for extended periods between uses.
