2019 Renault Grand Scenic 1.3L Petrol · HT19 AAO

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, evidenced by a clean MOT pass recorded in March 2026 at 46,022 miles where no defects were identified. This represents an improving maintenance trend following a period of reactive repairs in 2024 and 2025. While previous tests highlighted multiple mechanical and consumable failures, the most recent inspection suggests the owner has addressed the flagged faults to bring the car back to a passing standard. The mileage pattern is consistent with a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,500 miles per year. The data shows steady usage without long stationary periods. Between March 2022 and March 2026, the vehicle covered 27,133 miles, with a notable jump of 5,429 miles in the final year. This relatively low annual mileage generally suggests less wear on the drivetrain and engine, though it also explains why rubber-based components like tyres and perished have perished due to age rather than distance. A buyer should focus attention on the suspension and braking systems during a physical inspection. The 2025 failure identified compromised dust boots on anti-roll bar linkage ball joint dust covers, indicating a potential for premature joint wear if not replaced correctly. Additionally, the history of recurring thin brake pads and pitted rear discs across 2024 and 2025 suggests uneven wear patterns or neglected intervals that could lead to binding calipers. Tyre condition has been a persistent point of concern, with records of inner edge wear and sidewall damage appearing in 2022, 2024, and 2025. This pattern often points to alignment issues or incorrect inflation pressures. While the 2026 test was clear, the buyer must verify that the current state of the tyres reflects the clean MOT result and that no new tracking issues have returned.
