2010 Renault Grand Scenic 1.5L Diesel · CV10 XPE

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, though the history indicates a pattern of reactive maintenance. The most recent MOT test on April 10 2024 at 160,304 miles passed with no recorded defects, following a failure just three weeks prior at 160,073 miles. This suggests the owner is willing to address immediate mechanical failures to maintain compliance, yet the lack of advisories in the passing records implies the vehicle is being maintained only to minimum legal safety standards rather than undergoing preventative care. At 160,304 miles over 16 years, the Grand Scenic averages approximately 10,000 miles per annum, which aligns closely with the national average for a family vehicle of this age. The mileage data shows consistent usage, with roughly 9,000 miles covered between March 2022 and March 2023, and another 9,000 miles between March 2023 and April 2024. This steady rate of travel suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of standing, which helps keep seals and components lubricated but the high cumulative mileage places significant stress on the drivetrain and suspension assembly. A prospective buyer must focus the physical inspection on the suspension geometry and braking system, as these are common failure points on high-mileage Renault models. Given the failures recorded in 2023 and 2024, the inspector should check for worn suspension bushes, leaking shock absorbers, and binding calipers that may have caused previous failures. The structural integrity should also be scrutinized for corrosion on the sills and exhaust mounting points, as 16-year-old vehicles often exhibit hidden rust that does not always trigger an MOT advisory until it reaches a critical stage.
