2010 Renault Grand Scenic 1.5L Diesel · CE10 VEV

The vehicle presents an improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass during the most recent test on 29 May 2025 at 138,761 miles. This follows a failure earlier that same day due to a non-functioning central seat belt, which was rectified to achieve the pass. While the vehicle has faced several technical setbacks in recent years, the absence of any advisories or defects in the latest inspection suggests that the previous mechanical issues have been addressed. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 8,673 miles per year. The records show steady usage over the last eight years, moving from 80,914 miles in April 2018 to the current 138,761 miles. There are no significant gaps in the testing history that would suggest long periods of non-use, and the progression of mileage appears regular and predictable for a 16-year-old Renault Grand Scenic. A prospective buyer should focus on the front suspension and steering components, as these have shown a recurring pattern of wear. The July 2024 test flagged multiple failures including a track rod end, suspension arm ball joint, and anti-roll bar linkage ball joints. Similar issues with slight play in these components were noted in July 2023. Although these were passed in the most recent test, the history indicates that the front end is a high-wear area for this vehicle. The braking system and engine integrity also warrant scrutiny. The July 2024 record noted worn front brake discs and an oil leak, while the July 2023 test recorded emissions exceeding manufacturer limits. Although the 2025 test was clear, the history of emissions issues and oil leaks suggests that the engine and exhaust systems should be checked for continued stability. Finally, verify that the central seat belt and all lighting systems function correctly, as these have been intermittent points of failure in previous inspections.
