2016 Renault Grand Scenic 1.5L Diesel · EU16 EYL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a clear shift toward reactive repairs. While the most recent test in October 2025 at 71,059 miles passed, the tester flagged three tyres as worn near the legal limit and showing uneven edge wear. This follows a pattern established in 2024 where thin front brake pads and a nearside rear tyre were noted. The history suggests that the owner is addressing components only when they approach MOT failure thresholds rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. At 71,059 miles over ten years, the Renault Grand Scenic averages approximately 7,100 miles per annum, which aligns with typical usage for a family-oriented vehicle. The mileage accumulation is steady, with roughly 10,000 miles driven between the 2023 and 2024 tests, and another 10,701 miles between October 2024 and October 2025. This consistent use indicates the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stagnation, which generally benefits the condition of the rubber-based suspension components and braking seals. A buyer should specifically inspect the suspension and alignment, as the recurring edge wear on multiple tyres across 2024 and 2025 often indicates worn bushes or incorrect geometry. The 2023 failure due to thin rear brake pads and the subsequent advisory for thin front pads suggest the braking system is nearing a significant service interval. Given the age of the car, a physical inspection of the brake discs for corrosion and a check of the control arms for play is essential to ensure the low mileage has not masked aged degradation of rubber components.
