2013 Renault G Scenic D-QUE TT Energy Dciss 1.5L Diesel · BV13 HBA

The 2026‑03‑09 MOT at 120,854 miles certifies the Renault Scenic as roadworthy, with only minor defects such as an inoperative registration‑plate lamp and light oil misting on the near‑side front shock absorbers. The vehicle has passed the two most recent tests (2025‑03‑11 and 2026‑03‑09) after a series of earlier failures, indicating that previous suspension and brake issues have been rectified, so the maintenance trend is now stable and improving. Mileage has risen from 61,707 miles in March 2017 to 120,854 miles in March 2026, a gain of roughly 59,147 miles over 13 years, or about 9,300 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a 13‑year‑old vehicle. The increments between successive tests are modest, ranging from 3,000 to 6,600 miles, and no prolonged periods of inactivity are evident in the record. Recurring faults centre on the suspension system: the near‑side front shock absorbers show oil misting, the rear coil spring fractured in March 2024, the off‑side front suspension arm ball joint exhibits slight play, and the near‑side front track‑rod end ball joint displayed excessive play in March 2023. These items suggest wear on bushes, joints and springs that a buyer should verify during a physical inspection. Brake components also show repeated concerns: front brake discs are worn, pitted or scored across multiple tests, front pads are thin, and rear brake hoses display slight corrosion to the ferrules. The near‑side rear brake disc was noted as seriously weakened in March 2017, and the rear brake discs have been worn close to the legal limit in several earlier tests. Inspection should therefore focus on the condition of suspension bushes and springs, the integrity of brake discs, pads and hoses, tyre tread depth, and any signs of structural rust on brake pipes or chassis.
