2007 Renault Scenic 1.6L Petrol · CV57 JVL

The Renault Scenic presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 31 January 2026 at 119,860 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The vehicle cleared its final test with no defects logged, though the same date shows an initial failure with no defects recorded, a pattern repeated on 15 February 2025 at 105,994 miles. This suggests administrative or presentation issues at the test centre rather than mechanical fault, as no advisories or defects appear on any entry from 2024 onward. Annual mileage sits at a modest 6,308 miles against the car's 19-year life, with the record showing 81,362 miles at the 20 February 2024 test, rising to 105,994 by February 2025 and 119,860 by January 2026. The roughly 14,000-mile gain in the first interval and 13,800 in the second reflect consistent, light private use rather than neglect or excessive commercial wear. The clean sheet across three years implies the previous keeper kept basic consumables and emissions within limits, though the sparse record leaves little insight into deeper component condition. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the age and the unexplained fail-pass pairs on identical dates. The DVSA data flags no corrosion or structural integrity concerns, yet a 2007 chassis may hide underbody rust unseen by the tester. Verify the reason for the two same-day failures, as a rejected V5C or lighting check could explain the anomaly without indicating wear. Given the absent advisories, focus the viewing on tyre sidewall cracking, handbrake travel, and exhaust hangers. The owner clearly met statutory test standards, but 119,860 miles on original mounts or dampers is unlikely; treat those as consumables due for assessment rather than confirmed sound.
