2014 Renault Scenic 1.2L Petrol · FE14 KFG

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a pass on 23 February 2026 at 58,266 miles. While the overall trend appears stable, the immediate failure preceding that pass indicates a reactive approach to maintenance. The tester identified a fractured offside front coil spring and a split nearside front drive shaft CV boot. The fact that these faults were rectified immediately to achieve a pass suggests the owner responds to MOT-critical failures rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is notably low for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,856 miles per year. Between February 2023 and February 2026, the car covered only 6,022 miles, representing a low-intensity usage pattern of roughly 2,000 miles annually. This low mileage often results in less mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain, though it can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components through perish, which may correlate with the split CV boot noted in the most recent test. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the front suspension assembly to ensure the replacement CV boot is seated correctly and free of further tearing. Given the previous failure of the coil spring, the integrity of the remaining springs and bushings should be checked for signs of fatigue or excessive corrosion. The low annual mileage warrants a close look at brake discs for surface pitting or seizing, as vehicles that sit for long periods often suffer from brake oxidation despite low mileage readings.
