2016 Renault Scenic 1.5L Diesel · DU16 RLZ

The Renault Scenic holds a current MOT certificate valid until March 2027, achieved at 61,707 miles with only minor advisories for discoloured indicator lenses. The vehicle maintenance trend demonstrates a clear improvement over recent years following a period of heavier component renewal between 2022 and 2023. While the car previously accumulated multiple failures related to structural suspension wear and braking system degradation, the inspections from April 2025 and March 2026 reflect a stabilizing standard of upkeep. Averaging roughly 6,100 miles per year over its ten-year lifespan, the vehicle displays a consistent and typical mileage accumulation pattern without prolonged periods of storage or excessive commercial use. The odometer reading advanced predictably from 32,229 miles in April 2019 to 61,707 miles by March 2026. Gaps between annual tests remain standard for a privately owned UK passenger vehicle, indicating regular seasonal use rather than sporadic running. Prospective buyers should prioritize a thorough physical inspection of the suspension and braking assemblies given the history of component fatigue. The April 2023 test flagged a fractured nearside rear coil spring, play in the offside front suspension arm ball joint, and swollen protective coatings on the rear brake pipes. Furthermore, the March 2022 test revealed extensive wear across all four brake discs and pads, alongside structural tears in both rear tyres. Verifying the current condition of these replaced items, alongside checking the front tyres which frequently drew advisories for edge wear in 2020 and 2024, will confirm if recent servicing addresses these recurring mechanical weaknesses.
