2011 Renault Grand Scenic 1.9L Diesel · EY10 AEZ

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT in November 2024 at 126,484 miles but failed the subsequent test in November 2025 at 147,931 miles, with no defects recorded. This suggests the car remained roadworthy in 2024 but encountered an unspecified issue by 2025. The absence of recorded defects in both tests indicates no critical mechanical or structural faults were identified, though the failure may reflect minor compliance issues or administrative errors. The maintenance trend shows stability over the past three years, with no escalating concerns noted in the MOT history. The mileage progression reveals a sharp increase from 83,484 miles in October 2022 to 126,484 miles in November 2024, a 43,000-mile rise over 22 months, followed by a 21,447-mile jump to 147,931 miles by November 2025. This acceleration exceeds the average annual mileage of 9,862 miles for its age, implying heavier usage or potential periods of inactivity. The 2023 MOT records, which include a pass and a fail on the same date, add ambiguity, though neither entry lists defects. The sparse data limits insight into long-term wear patterns, but the lack of recurring issues in prior tests suggests the vehicle has been maintained to a basic standard. A buyer should inspect the suspension components, particularly the rear suspension bushes and coil springs, given the high mileage and potential for wear. The brake system, including calipers and discs, warrants scrutiny, as excessive mileage can lead to binding or uneven wear. Corrosion in the exhaust system and underbody should also be checked, as these are common issues in older vehicles. While the MOT history lacks specific faults, the 2025 failure and rapid mileage growth highlight the need for a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm the car’s mechanical integrity.
