2012 Renault Grand Scenic 1.5L Diesel · CV62 FJO

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following a period of inconsistent maintenance. The most recent MOT test on 27 May 2026 at 126,451 miles recorded no defects, which follows a clean pass in May 2025 at 117,865 miles. This recent trend suggests that previous mechanical issues have been addressed and the vehicle is currently being maintained to a sufficient standard to pass inspections without advisories. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 9,000 miles per year. The record shows steady usage from 20,150 miles in 2016 up to the current 126,451 miles. There are no significant gaps in the testing history that would suggest long periods of inactivity, although the frequency of tests shifted from annual to biennial between 2021 and 2022. The steady progression of mileage indicates regular use rather than sporadic short trips. A buyer should focus on the suspension and steering components due to significant failures in the past. In May 2024 at 109,249 miles, the tester flagged fractured rear coil springs and a track rod end with excessive play. While the 2026 test shows no current issues, these components are high-wear items on a vehicle of this age and weight. The history also shows recurring issues with tyre wear and tread depth, specifically in 2020, 2022, and 2024, which suggests that while consumables are being replaced, the vehicle may have experienced alignment issues or periods of deferred tyre maintenance. Braking components also warrant a physical inspection. The record shows a seriously weakened offside rear brake disc in October 2022 and thin brake pads in both 2018 and 2023. Although the most recent tests show no braking defects, the pattern of wear indicates that the braking system requires regular monitoring. A thorough check of the brake discs for pitting or uneven wear and a verification of the suspension bushings would be prudent before purchase.
