2007 Renault Grand Scenic 1.6L Petrol · DV07 VKC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. While the most recent test on May 28, 2026 at 43,307 miles passed, it followed a failure due to a fractured offside rear coil spring and pitted rear brake discs. The recurring nature of brake component issues across multiple years suggests that the owner only addresses mechanical faults once they reach an MOT failure threshold rather than performing scheduled preventative maintenance. At 19 years old, the recorded mileage of 43,307 miles is exceptionally low, averaging approximately 2,279 miles per year. This low-usage pattern is evident in the narrow gaps between tests, such as the mere 126 miles driven between May 2025 and May 2026. However, this low mileage often correlates with age-related degradation of rubber and metal. The record confirms this with persistent mentions of perishing tyres and corroded components, which are typical symptoms of a vehicle sitting for long periods rather than being driven frequently. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the steering system and suspension, as the offside front steering rack inner joints have been flagged for play consistently since at least May 2024. The fracture of the rear coil spring in 2026 indicates that the suspension components may be becoming brittle from age and lack of use. Furthermore, the excessive corrosion noted on the nearside rear brake pipe in May 2024 warrants a close look at further structural rust throughout the braking lines to ensure no immediate failure is imminent despite the low mileage.
