2017 Renault Grand Scenic 1.5L Diesel · EO67 ENJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach. While it passed its latest MOT on 28 August 2025 at 96,077 miles, the test failed initially due to an inoperative Malfunction Indicator Light and thin rear brake pads. The fact that the MIL was flagged as inoperative suggests a previous fault may have been cleared or ignored by the owner, and the brake pad failure confirms that mechanical issues are only addressed once they reached the point of failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,700 miles per year. Between August 2022 at 53,288 miles and August 2024 at 83,405 miles, the car covered 30,117 miles in two years, showing steady usage. The most recent interval of 12,672 miles since August 2024 follows this trend. This level of mileage typically puts significant wear on suspension components and braking systems, which aligns with the thinning pads noted in the most recent test. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the rear braking system, as the record shows thin pads on both sides during the 2025 test. You should check for sticking calipers or uneven disc wear that could contribute to the rapid thinning observed. Additionally, the 2022 advisory regarding a worn nearside front tyre on the edge suggests potential alignment issues or worn suspension bushes, which should be verified during a test drive. Given the inoperative MIL failure in 2025, a diagnostic scan is essential to ensure no hidden engine management fault codes remain in the system.
