2007 Renault G-Scenic DYN-5 DCI 130 A 1.9L Diesel · DF07 AFO

The vehicle’s most recent MOT, conducted on 2021-10-27 at 76,595 miles, revealed multiple critical failures, including corroded coil springs, damaged tyres, and brake pad wear. A subsequent pass on the same day indicated unresolved issues, suggesting inconsistent maintenance. The 2020 tests highlighted recurring suspension corrosion and steering play, with no significant improvements in the 2021 records. Overall, the maintenance trend shows persistent mechanical and structural concerns, exacerbated by a five-year gap between the last MOT and today’s date. The vehicle’s low annual mileage of ~4,031 miles raises questions about long-term storage or infrequent use, which can accelerate corrosion and component degradation. The 2020-10-14 MOT at 68,476 miles noted corroded shock absorbers, worn tyres, and a corroded coil spring, while the 2021 tests at 76,595 miles repeated brake and tyre issues. The 2019-10-09 pass at 59,200 miles was clean, but the lack of MOT records between 2019 and 2021 suggests potential neglect. This sparse data complicates assessing long-term reliability. Key areas for in-person inspection include the suspension system for further corrosion or wear, particularly the coil springs and shock absorbers flagged in 2020. Brake components should be checked for binding calipers and uneven pad wear, as thin pads were noted in 2021. Tyres require close examination for cuts, bulges, and age-related cracking, as multiple defects were recorded. Structural integrity should also be verified, given the history of under-tray fittings and corrosion risks. A professional assessment is strongly advised to confirm the vehicle’s current roadworthiness.
