2013 Renault Scenic 1.5L Diesel · CA62 ERK

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness with a consistent clean pass record over the last five years. The most recent inspection on 31 January 2026 at 40,494 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that the mechanical and safety components remain within acceptable tolerance levels. This stable trend suggests a maintenance history where the vehicle has been retained without the recurring failures or structural degradation often seen in older models. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 13-year-old car, averaging approximately 3,115 miles per annum. Between January 2022 and January 2026, the vehicle covered only 10,806 miles, with a notable increase of 4,800 miles between the 2023 and 2024 tests. This pattern indicates short-distance urban use or long periods of inactivity. While this low mileage limits wear on the drivetrain and braking system, long intervals between drives can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components and fluid chemistry due to lack of circulation. Given the clean MOT history, a physical inspection should focus on the specific risks associated with low-mileage storage. Inspect the tyres for sidewall cracking and flat spots, as the tread depth may outlast the rubber compound life. Check the suspension bushes and brake calipers for signs of corrosion, as these components can seize when a vehicle is not used frequently. Additionally, verify the chassis for surface rust, as the absence of MOT advisories does not guarantee the structural integrity of the vehicle remains untouched by a decade of environmental exposure.
