Our Verdict
This 2010 Renault Grand Scenic offers decent value for a family-friendly MPV but requires careful inspection due to recurring mechanical issues and high mileage.
Prioritise a thorough mechanical inspection of the suspension system, focusing on ball joints and coil springs given past failures. Check for rust on brake pipes and corrosion under the vehicle. Verify service history for repairs related to the 2022 MOT issues. Negotiate based on the vehicle's high mileage and documented maintenance needs. Be cautious of potential hidden costs from repeated suspension and brake work.
Diesel fuel economy for the 1.461cc engine is moderate, with typical costs around £1.30-£1.40 per litre. Tax would be £140 annually (2026 rates for diesel cars registered before 2017). Insurance group likely falls in the mid-range (estimate £600-£800 annually). Maintenance costs may exceed average due to past suspension and brake repairs, with potential expenses for ball joint replacements or brake system overhauls. Estimated annual running cost: £1,200-£1,500.
Inspect suspension components for wear, particularly anti-roll bar joints and coil springs, which failed in 2022. Check brake pipes for corrosion and grease buildup, as noted in multiple MOTs. Examine tyres for uneven wear patterns and ensure all tyres meet legal limits. Look for signs of water ingress or rust in the cabin, and test all seat belts, especially the rear passenger seat which caused an MOT failure. Verify that all electrical systems (e.g., position lamps) are functioning correctly.
The vehicle has a clean 2025 MOT but shows consistent maintenance needs in its 2022-2024 history, including suspension wear, brake corrosion, and tyre issues. At 135,197 miles, the mileage is above average for its age, though the recent MOT pass suggests improved reliability. No model-wide reliability data is available, but specific MOT failures highlight potential concerns.
No aggregate reliability data available for the RENAULT GRAND SCENIC, but this vehicle's MOT history indicates potential susceptibility to suspension wear and brake system corrosion.
