2010 Renault Scenic Dynamique DCI 105 1.5L Diesel · EFZ 3794

Based on the official DVSA MOT records, this 2010 Renault Scenic presents a remarkably clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent test, conducted on 30 August 2024 at 126,018 miles, passed with zero defects recorded. This outcome is not an isolated result. The vehicle has consistently passed its MOT tests across the available history, with the sole exception of a test on 10 February 2023 at 125,976 miles that was marked as a failure, yet intriguingly shows no defects recorded in the provided data. The maintenance trend is therefore stable and strongly positive, indicating a vehicle that has been kept in sound mechanical and structural order. The mileage pattern reveals a notable anomaly. Between the test on 23 February 2022 at 116,281 miles and the test on 10 February 2023 at 125,976 miles, the vehicle accumulated approximately 9,695 miles in just under a year. This is a significant increase compared to the vehicle's overall average of roughly 7,876 miles per year. However, from February 2023 to August 2024, a period of over eighteen months, the mileage increased by only 42 miles, from 125,976 to 126,018. This suggests the vehicle may have been largely stationary or used very sparingly during that recent period, which can pose its own risks such as flat-spotted tyres, brake surface corrosion, and fluid degradation. Despite the clean MOT record, a personal inspection is essential. The 16-year age of this vehicle means structural corrosion, particularly around suspension mounting points, subframes, and inner wing arches, must be thoroughly checked. The diesel particulate filter and its associated exhaust emissions system should be examined for efficiency, as short journeys can lead to clogging. The condition of all suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers should be assessed for wear, even if not flagged in testing. Given the period of minimal use, inspect the brake discs and pads for surface corrosion and the tyres for cracking or perishing due to age, not just tread depth. The timing belt and its associated tensioner must be confirmed as replaced within the manufacturer's recommended interval, a critical service item for this engine.
