2015 Renault Scenic 1.5L Diesel · CX64 AEP

The vehicle presents a mixed maintenance profile with a recent trend toward worsening consumable wear. While the 2026-01-12 test at 81,403 miles resulted in a pass, the tester flagged significant advisories regarding pitted and scored brake discs on both the front and rear axles. This follows a pattern of recurring issues with tyres and braking components seen throughout the history. The presence of four tyres worn close to the legal limit in the most recent test suggests that basic maintenance of consumables is being deferred by the current owner. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 7,400 miles per year. The record shows steady progression from 23,213 miles in 2018 to the current 81,403 miles. There are no significant gaps in usage, though the frequency of minor failures and advisories has increased as the vehicle has aged. The jump from 50,840 miles in 2021 to 58,275 miles in 2022 indicates a period of relatively low usage, but the subsequent years show a return to regular, predictable driving patterns. A prospective buyer should prioritize a thorough inspection of the braking system and suspension. The history shows repeated issues with brake pads wearing thin and discs becoming pitted, specifically noted in 2021 and again in early 2026. The 2025 test identified play in the front anti-roll bar linkage ball joints, and the 2019 records highlighted rear wheel bearing play, so the integrity of the steering and suspension components requires physical verification. The 2020 failure involving a split nearside outer drive shaft CV boot and a non-illuminating SRS warning lamp indicates past lapses in electrical and drivetrain upkeep. Although these specific items passed subsequent tests, the recurring nature of tyre and brake advisories suggests the vehicle is currently being maintained on a reactive rather than proactive basis. Careful attention should be paid to the condition of all four tyres and the immediate replacement of the scored brake discs to ensure the vehicle meets standard safety expectations.
