2008 Renault Grand Scenic 2.0L Diesel · BV08 OMO

The Renault Grand Scenic passed its most recent MOT on 9 May 2024 at 162,522 miles with no defects recorded, and the maintenance trend across the supplied history reads as stable with no escalating faults. The vehicle cleared every pass test without advisories, though the record shows two same-day fail-then-pass pairs on 5–6 June 2023 and 9 May 2024 where the tester logged no defects at either failure, indicating administrative re-tests rather than mechanical rectification. Mileage sat at 148,691 in the 31 May 2022 test, rose to 154,338 by 5 June 2023, and reached 162,522 by 9 May 2024. That equates to roughly 5,600 miles between 2022 and 2023 and about 8,200 over the following year, tracking close to the 9,029 annual average for an 18-year-old car. The DVSA data is sparse, with only three pass entries and two defect-free failures across the visible span, so no rapid accumulation or prolonged standing is evident from the numbers alone. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's age and 162,522 miles, as the MOT record carries no advisories that would confirm or rule out wear in those areas. Structural integrity and underbody corrosion warrant close checks, particularly around sills and subframes, since the tests recorded nothing but offer no assurance against latent rust on a 2008 chassis. The repeated zero-defect failures suggest the previous owner used the same garage for quick re-tests rather than deferring maintenance, and the clean pass history implies basic upkeep was kept current. Given the lack of flagged consumables or mechanical risks, the priority for any purchaser is an independent underside and brake assessment before commitment.
