2009 Renault Scenic 1.4L Petrol · HV59 DWC

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the maintenance history indicates a pattern of deferred repairs regarding consumable components. The most recent test in August 2025 at 91,784 miles passed despite multiple advisories for perished tyre sidew across three wheels and worn front brake discs. While the vehicle has avoided major mechanical failures, the recurring nature of these advisories suggests that the owner only addresses issues once they reach the MOT threshold rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. At 17 years old, the recorded mileage of 91,784 miles is significantly low, averaging approximately 5,400 miles per year. This low usage is consistent across the intervals between tests, such as the 1,470 miles covered between the 2024 and 2025 inspections. However, low annual mileage often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components, which explains the cracking and perishing noted on the tyres in recent years. The vehicle likely sits for extended periods, causing tyre dry rot despite sufficient tread depth. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension assembly, as the anti-roll bar linkage ball joints were flagged with play multiple times between 2021 and 2023. This persistent fault indicates the parts were not replaced despite repeated warnings, which can lead to unpredictable handling. The front brake discs have been noted as worn for two consecutive years, meaning they are likely nearing their minimum thickness and require immediate replacement. Given the age of the vehicle, a thorough physical check for structural corrosion on the sills and mounting points is essential, as the record does not provide detail on the condition of the chassis.
