2017 Renault Grand Scenic 1.5L Diesel · FE67 GZX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance history indicates a trend of developing suspension-related wear. The most recent test in March 2026 at 58,172 miles identified split rear bushes on the front suspension arms and perishing cracks on the offside rear tyre. This follows a clean result in February 2025, suggesting that components which were stable years ago are now reaching the end of their functional life despite the relatively low annual mileage. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use family vehicle, averaging approximately 6,500 miles per year. There was a notable gap of over 9,600 miles between March 2024 and February 2025, followed by a 6,600-mile interval between February 2025 and March 2026. This steady accumulation suggests the car has been used regularly, which often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components like bushes and tyres due to age and exposure rather than high mechanical stress alone. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension geometry. The record shows recurring issues with worn suspension arm pins and bushes across both 2024 and 2026, alongside a previously severely deteriorated anti-roll bar ball joint dust cover. These faults indicate a vulnerability in the front-end rubber components. Additionally, the buyer must check all tyres for dry-rot or cracking, as the tester flagged perishing issues in both 2023 and 2026, implying the tyres may be failing due to age rather than tread depth.
