2014 Renault G Scenic D-QUE TT Energy Dciss 1.5L Heavy oil · AO14 XAB

This 2014 Renault Scenic presents a clean and stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT, conducted on 22 February 2026 at 97,543 miles, passed with zero defects recorded. This outcome is consistent with the vehicle's entire documented history, which shows five consecutive passes with no advisories or failures across the last five tests. The maintenance trend is stable and improving in the sense that the vehicle has remained defect-free as it has aged past the nine-year mark. The mileage accumulation is steady and typical for a twelve-year-old diesel MPV. Between the October 2021 test at 63,396 miles and the February 2026 test at 97,543 miles, the vehicle covered 34,147 miles over roughly four years and four months, averaging around 7,900 miles per year. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden spikes in the odometer record. The 1,890-mile interval between the March 2025 test at 95,653 miles and the February 2026 test at 97,543 miles is modest and consistent with normal use. The record is clean and unbroken, with no missing years or unexplained mileage reversals. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer should still carry out a thorough physical inspection. The 2014 Scenic is now over a decade old, and structural corrosion around the subframes, inner wing arches, and suspension mounting points is a known concern on this generation of Renault MPV, even when MOT testers have not flagged it. The diesel particulate filter and EGR system on the 1.5 dCi engine deserve close scrutiny, particularly given the relatively low annual mileage, which can lead to DPF clogging from repeated short trips. Suspension bushes, drop links, and front anti-roll bar links on this platform commonly deteriorate between MOT intervals, so a test drive over broken surfaces is essential to check for clunks or vague steering. The braking system and tyre condition should also be verified in person. Rear brake calipers on the Scenic are prone to sticking, and uneven disc wear can develop without triggering an MOT advisory until it becomes severe. The electric power steering rack on this model has a documented history of intermittent faults, so the steering should be checked for consistent assistance in both lock-to-lock directions. A clean MOT record is encouraging, but it does not substitute for a hands-on mechanical inspection on a vehicle of this age and design.
