2015 Renault Scenic 1.5L Diesel · HS15 AYY

The 2015 Renault Scénic’s most recent MOT test on 2025-06-04 confirms it remains roadworthy, though the record reveals an unusual technical anomaly: a double test at 95,010 and 95,011 miles, both passing without defects. This suggests either a rare administrative oversight or a deliberate retest to resolve an unrecorded issue, though no faults were logged. The preceding tests from 2023 to 2024 show consistent pass statuses with no advisories or defects, indicating no recurring mechanical failures. However, the lack of advisories in any test—even for wear items like suspension bushes or brake pads—is notable, as they are typically flagged before becoming critical. Mileage progression over the past decade averages around 8,600 miles annually, which aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. The gaps between tests are regular, with no abrupt jumps or prolonged periods of inactivity. For instance, the 2022 to 2023 interval saw 9,699 miles in a year, while the 2024 to 2025 span covered 8,063 miles—both within expected ranges. There is no evidence of excessive wear from high mileage, nor does the record suggest prolonged neglect, though the absence of advisories in earlier tests could imply minor issues were overlooked or repaired privately. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an inspection of the suspension components, particularly the rear coil springs and bushes, as these are common failure points in Renault Scénics of this age. The double test at nearly identical mileages hints at potential hidden wear, so checking for uneven tyre wear or binding calipers—common in vehicles with worn suspension—would be prudent. Additionally, the brake system should be scrutinised for uneven pad thickness or corrosion on discs, as the lack of advisories does not guarantee no degradation has occurred. Structural integrity, especially around wheel arches and sills, should also be examined for corrosion, as this is a critical but often silent risk in older vehicles.
