2005 Renault Grand Scenic 1.6L Petrol · FP05 MRU

The Renault Grand Scenic passed its most recent MOT on 28 August 2025 at 92,036 miles with no defects recorded, indicating current roadworthiness is acceptable. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the test history shows two failed attempts with no defects logged, suggesting administrative or presentation issues rather than worsening mechanical condition. At 21 years old the vehicle carries low mileage for its age. Recorded mileage rose from 84,767 at the March 2022 test to 91,754 by May 2023, then held at 92,036 through both the August 2025 failure and subsequent pass. Annual use averaged roughly 4,383 miles. The sparse record shows no advisories across any entry, and the repeated same-day fail-pass pairs at 91,754 and 92,036 miles imply the car stood little used between 2023 and 2025. A buyer should still inspect structural corrosion on sills, subframes, and suspension mounting points given the vehicle's 2005 build date and likely periods of inactivity. Check suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for deterioration from standing rather than wear. The clean MOT log offers no flagged faults, but low-use older cars often hide perished rubber components and seized calipers not caught in a no-defect test. Confirm the reason for the two failed tests with no defects noted, as this may reflect lighting or documentation errors at the testing station. Verify service history independently before purchase.
