2011 Renault Grand Scenic 1.5L Diesel · HK11 ABF

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, though the history reveals a consistent pattern of reactive rather than proactive maintenance. While the most recent MOT in February 2024 at 157,476 miles resulted in a pass, it followed a failure involving an inoperative engine management light, a missing rear fog lamp, and a fractured offside front coil spring. The recurring nature of suspension and lighting failures across the last five years suggests that the owner tends to address mechanical issues only when they reach the point of test failure. At 157,476 miles over 15 years, the Grand Scenic has averaged approximately 10,500 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a family-sized vehicle. There is a significant gap in the records between March 2023 and February 2024, where the vehicle covered nearly 20,000 miles in eleven months. Given the current date of July 2026, the vehicle is now over two years overdue for its recorded MOT, significantly increasing the risk that undetected component wear or safety-critical defects have developed since the last official inspection. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the suspension geometry, as coil springs, track rod ends, and anti-roll bar linkages have failed multiple times throughout the life. The record shows a history of neglected brake components, with multiple advisories for pitted and scored discs and thinning pads noted between 2020 and 2021. Particular attention should be paid to the electrical system, as the 2024 failure for a malfunctioning engine management light indicates potential sensor or wiring issues that could cause future diagnostic faults. Verify the current state of the tyres, as previous tests show a trend of running them down to the legal limit before replacement.
