2010 Renault Scenic 1.5L Diesel · BC02 ARM

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following a period of significant mechanical volatility. The most recent test on 12 December 2025 at 122,090 miles returned a clean pass with no defects recorded. This follows a pattern of recurring issues between 2021 and 2024 where the vehicle frequently failed on braking and suspension components. The absence of advisories in the latest inspection suggests that recent remedial work has successfully addressed the long-standing issues with the braking system and steering. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 7,600 miles per year. The data shows steady progression from 50,136 miles in 2015 to the current 122,090 miles, indicating regular use rather than long periods of stagnation. There are no significant gaps in the testing frequency, as the annual MOT cycle has been maintained consistently since 2015. This steady usage pattern suggests the vehicle has been subjected to predictable wear and tear on consumables. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the rear braking system and the integrity of the brake pipes. The MOT history shows a persistent trend of pitted or scored rear brake discs and corroded brake pipes, specifically noted in the 2022 and 2023 tests. While the 2025 pass indicates these may have been replaced, the recurring nature of these faults suggests the vehicle is prone to corrosion in the braking circuit. Checking for any signs of fluid weeping or surface rust on the rear lines is essential. Suspension and steering components also require scrutiny. The 2022 and 2023 tests flagged fractured coil springs and excessive play in the track rod ends. Although these were cleared during subsequent tests, the history of component failure indicates that the suspension geometry and structural mounting points should be checked for wear. Finally, the history of frequent tyre advisories for being worn close to the legal limit suggests a tendency for the owner to delay basic consumable maintenance, so the current condition of all four tyres should be verified.
