2010 Renault Grand Scenic 1.5L Diesel · KU60 FHV

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a persistent failure to address recurring mechanical and consumable defects. Although the most recent test in December 2025 at 129,594 miles passed, it flagged multiple issues that have appeared consistently across several previous years. While the car continues to pass, the ongoing presence of corroded brake pipes and deteriorating tyres suggests a reactive maintenance approach where only the minimum requirements for an MOT are met rather than performing preventative repairs. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a sixteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,100 miles per year. Between October 2021 at 119,940 miles and December 2025 at 129,594 miles, the car covered roughly 10,000 miles. This steady low-intensity usage suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to heavy motorway stress, but the low mileage does not exempt components from age-related degradation, such as the perishing of rubber rubber components noted in the recent records. A buyer must prioritise a thorough physical inspection of the braking system, as the rear brake pipe has been flagged for corrosion in every test since 2022. The fact that these pipes are covered in grease or material indicates a potential attempt to mask the extent of the rust from the tester. Furthermore, the nearside front tyre has been noted as worn on the edge in both 2024 and 2025, which strongly points to alignment issues or worn suspension bushes. The state of the tyres also requires attention, as cracking and perishing on the rear axle indicate the rubber is aging poorly regardless of tread depth.
