2002 Renault Scenic 1.4L Petrol · FP52 OYA

The Renault Scenic presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 2 April 2026 at 46,569 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean results across the prior four years. The vehicle shows no worsening mechanical faults and no recurring advisory items in the official record. Recorded mileage stays low for a 2002 model. The test on 20 April 2023 captured 44,948 miles, rising to 45,602 miles by 25 March 2024, then 46,069 miles on 3 April 2025 and 46,569 miles on 2 April 2026. That equates to roughly 500 miles per year, confirming very light use. The 25 March 2024 entry lists both a fail and a pass on the same day at identical mileage with no defects recorded, which points to an administrative re-test rather than a genuine mechanical fault. A clean MOT sheet across five years does not guarantee freedom from hidden wear. Low annual mileage and likely long stationary periods raise the risk of perished rubber suspension bushes, seized brake calipers, and corroded brake discs or exhaust hangers not yet visible to the tester. The buyer should physically inspect subframe and sills for structural corrosion, confirm brake binding is absent after a road trial, and check tyre sidewall cracking from age rather than tread loss. Given the sparse but consistent history, previous keepers appear to have stored the car rather than neglected it. Prospective purchase still warrants a independent inspection of suspension joints and underbody integrity before commitment.
