Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. While the vehicle
Given the MOT history, priority should be placed on verifying the current state of the braking system. The February 2024 records specifically mentioned 'overheated' brake discs and a 'binding' rear service brake; you should ensure these were fully rectified rather than just patched. Check for a comprehensive service history, paying particular attention to the timing belt and water pump intervals, which are critical for this 1.46L diesel engine.
Negotiate based on the vehicle's mileage, which is well above the average for this model. Ensure that any recent suspension work, such as the replacement of track rod ends or wheel bearings mentioned in 2024, is backed up by invoices from a reputable garage.
The 1.46L diesel engine is designed for efficiency, making it a cost-effective choice for long-distance family travel. However, as a 2014 model, it will fall into a tax bracket based on its original CO2 emissions, and insurance groups for the Grand Scenic are typically moderate for its size.
Maintenance costs are likely to be higher than average for this vehicle due to its age and mileage. Expect increased spending on wear-and-tear items such as tyres, brake pads, and suspension bushings, which have already shown a pattern of failure in the MOT records.
Carefully inspect the braking system, specifically the nearside rear, as this area has been flagged for pitting, scoring, and binding. A test drive should be used to check for any remaining brake drag or unusual noises from the offside front wheel bearing, which was noted as 'slightly noisy' in 2024.
Examine the suspension components, particularly the track rod ends and anti-roll bar linkages, as these are known weak points for the model and have caused failures for this specific car. Additionally, check the condition of all tyres, as the 2021 MOT recorded multiple tyres worn close to the legal limit or damaged.
This white 2014 Renault Grand Scenic has recorded 119,752 miles as of February 2024, which is significantly higher than the model average. The MOT history shows a recurring theme of braking system degradation and suspension wear, including failures related to track rod ends and anti-roll bar linkages. It is a high-mileage example of a family MPV that has required several repairs to pass its recent inspections.
The Grand Scenic has an average MOT pass rate of 71%, with the most common failures occurring in tyres, ball joints, and headlamps.
