2009 Renault Grand Scenic 1.5L Diesel · DN59 AET

This Renault Grand Scenic presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the available data. The most recent MOT on 2 October 2024 at 120,372 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the vehicle failed its tests on 26 September 2024 and 26 September 2023, the lack of recorded defects for those failures suggests they may have been related to administrative errors or minor issues resolved immediately. The mileage pattern is consistent with the vehicle's age. It has covered roughly 7,081 miles per year over 17 years. Between the October 2022 test at 119,415 miles and the October 2024 test at 120,372 miles, the car covered only 957 miles. This significant drop in usage over two years suggests the vehicle has spent considerable time stationary, which can lead to secondary issues such as seized brake calipers or perished rubber components. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on items affected by prolonged inactivity. Check for brake disc corrosion and ensure the tyres have not developed flat spots or sidewall cracking. Given the age of the vehicle, a thorough check for structural corrosion on the chassis and suspension mounting points is essential, as these are common failure points for this model that may not have been flagged in recent clean tests. Verify the condition of the battery and fluid levels, as low-mileage periods often lead to battery degradation and moisture buildup in the oil. The absence of advisories across the last three years is positive, but the lack of recorded wear on consumables suggests a need to verify when the last major service occurred.
