2014 Renault Scenic 1.6L Diesel · BP14 KND

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its MOT on 18 June 2026 with 89,961 miles. The maintenance trend shows signs of reactive rather than proactive care. A minor failure occurred just two days prior to the successful test due to an inoperative reversing lamp, which was clearly rectified immediately. While the most recent report is clean of defects, the history indicates a pattern of addressing mechanical faults only when necessitated by the annual testing process. The mileage pattern is consistent with a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,500 miles per year. Between the June 2024 test at 78,915 miles and the June 2025 test at 84,081 miles, the vehicle covered 5,166 miles. This steady usage suggests regular operation rather than long periods of stationary storage, which helps prevent rubber components and seals from suffering from age-related degradation despite the relatively low odometer reading. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the front steering geometry. The June 2024 failure flagged both nearside and offside track rod end ball joints for excessive play, indicating that the suspension components are reaching the end of their service life. While these were likely replaced to pass the test, the buyer should check for uneven tyre wear or steering- vibration. The 2025 report noting pitted and scored rear brake discs with inner rotor corrosion suggests the vehicle may sit for short periods or be driven in conditions that allow moisture to build up. The electrical history also warrants attention. The non-functional central stop lamp was noted as covered in tape in both the 2024 and 2025 tests, suggesting a persistent minor bulb failure or a faulty wiring loom issue that was not permanently addressed. Given the age of the Renault Scenic, a physical check of the underside for structural integrity and surface corrosion is necessary to ensure that no significant rust has developed beyond what the tester observed in previous years.
