RENAULT SCENIC2008 · 1.6L Petrol

The vehicle is currently not roadworthy as it failed its most recent MOT test on 25 March 2025 at 97,558 miles. The maintenance trend appears erratic. While the record shows a pass on 15 March 2024, the car has failed three separate tests since February 2023. The absence of recorded defects during these failures is highly unusual for a vehicle of this age and suggests administrative errors or tests that were terminated before a full inspection could be completed. The mileage is low for an eighteen year old vehicle, averaging roughly 5,420 miles per year. Between 23 March 2023 and 25 March 2025, the odometer moved only 1,385 miles. This indicates the car has spent significant periods stationary. Low mileage on a vehicle this old often masks deterioration caused by inactivity, such as perished rubber seals, seized brake calipers, or degraded fluids. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the chassis and suspension. Renault Scenics of this era are prone to structural corrosion and worn suspension bushes, neither of which are detailed in this sparse record. The repeated failures without listed defects are a red flag. You should specifically check for brake disc corrosion and tyre perishing, as the low annual mileage suggests the car may have suffered from long-term standing. Verify the current MOT status immediately. The gap between the last failure in March 2025 and the current date in July 2026 means the vehicle has likely been off the road for over a year. This extended dormancy increases the risk of battery failure and fuel system degradation.
