2008 Renault Grand Scenic 1.5L Diesel · FP08 VKF

The most recent MOT on 13 June 2024 at 133,412 miles returned a failure with no defects recorded, leaving the vehicle's current roadworthiness unconfirmed and the maintenance trend ambiguous rather than clearly stable or worsening. Prior to that, the car passed every annual test from 5 June 2023 at 123,216 miles back to 11 June 2021 at 106,294 miles, with no advisories logged at any stage. The only other failure occurred on 7 June 2021 at 106,200 miles, also with no defects listed, suggesting administrative or presentation issues at the test centre rather than mechanical faults. Annual mileage averages around 7,400 miles against an 18-year service life, which is typical for a family MPV of this era. The record shows steady accumulation: 106,200 miles in June 2021 rising to 133,412 by June 2024, a near 27,000-mile gain over three years with no sudden jumps or dormant periods. The clean pass history with zero advisories across five tests implies the previous keeper addressed items before each examination, though the absence of recorded wear on brakes, tyres, or suspension bushes at this age and mileage is unusual and may reflect minimal tester commentary rather than a fault-free chassis. A buyer should physically verify the braking system, suspension arms, and subframe corrosion, since the 2024 failure with no defects noted gives no clue whether the tester rejected the car for emissions, documentation, or a hidden mechanical fault. The two failure entries without recorded defects warrant scrutiny of the VOSA failure reason codes if obtainable. At 133,412 miles on a 2008 Renault, expect worn coil springs, degraded bushes, and tired dampers even if prior tests stayed silent on them. Given the unresolved 2024 failure and the car's standing for over two years since that test, a fresh MOT and independent inspection are essential before purchase. The sparse record offers little reassurance on structural integrity or consumable condition, and the buyer should budget for suspension and brake overhaul regardless of the historical pass streak.
