2011 Renault Grand Scenic 1.6L Diesel · YF61 AFA

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-05-23 at 153,439 miles recorded a pass with no defects, yet an identical date also shows a fail with no defects noted. This inconsistency suggests a potential administrative error, but the absence of recorded issues implies no immediate mechanical risks. The maintenance trend remains stable, with no escalating faults identified across the 2022–2025 period. However, the lack of detailed defect reports limits confidence in the thoroughness of past inspections. The vehicle’s mileage of 153,439 miles aligns with an average of 10,229 miles annually, reflecting typical usage for its 15-year age. A 14-month gap between the 2024-03-19 test (145,272 miles) and the 2025-05-23 test (153,439 miles) indicates a slight reduction in usage, though the 8,167-mile increase remains within normal parameters. Earlier tests in 2022 show similar consistency, with no significant gaps or rapid mileage spikes. The sparse defect data, however, means critical components like suspension or exhaust systems were not flagged for review. A buyer should physically inspect the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, common issues in vehicles of this age. Check brake components for binding calipers or uneven disc wear, as these can develop without triggering MOT failures. Corrosion in the exhaust system or body structure, particularly around the chassis, warrants attention, as it often progresses unnoticed. The absence of recorded issues does not eliminate these risks, and a pre-purchase inspection should prioritize these areas to confirm the vehicle’s mechanical integrity.
