2010 Renault GRD Scenic Priv-GE T-T DCI FAP 1.5L Diesel · AF60 NLK

The Renault Grand Scenic passed its most recent MOT on 16 March 2026 at 140,192 miles with no defects recorded, leaving it roadworthy as of that test. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record shows a recurring pattern of initial failures followed by quick passes. On 11 March 2026 the car failed at 140,176 miles, then passed five days later with no defects listed. The same sequence occurred in March 2025: a failure on 14 March at 131,717 miles, followed by a pass on 17 March at the same mileage. These back-to-back fail-pass cycles suggest administrative or minor presentational issues at the first test rather than severe mechanical faults, but the duplication warrants scrutiny. The vehicle has covered 140,192 miles over roughly sixteen years, averaging about 8,762 miles per year, which is typical for a car of this age. Mileage progression is steady and unremarkable: 125,918 miles at the January 2024 test, rising to 131,717 by March 2025 and 140,192 by March 2026. No rapid accumulation or long standing gaps appear in the data. The DVSA record itself is sparse, with no advisories or defects logged on any pass or fail, so the history offers little insight into wear on consumables or structural condition. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection before purchase. The absence of recorded advisories across five tests is unusual for a 2010 diesel with 140,000 miles and may mean items like suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or corrosion were overlooked or not noted by testers. Given the two fail-pass pairs in 2025 and 2026, confirm what triggered the failures and verify the rectification evidence. Pay particular attention to exhaust emissions from the FAP diesel system and to structural integrity beneath the sills and subframes. The clean record does not guarantee freedom from wear, only that none was formally flagged. A pre-purchase check of binding calipers, tyre tread depth, and chassis rust remains prudent on a high-mileage MPV of this era.
