Our Verdict
Proceed with caution and budget for imme
When inspecting this specific beige Renault Scenic, you should prioritise checking the recent work done to address the 2025 MOT failure. Ensure that the nearside rear coil spring has been replaced and that the offside rear tyre and rear brake discs have been renewed, rather than just being monitored as advisories.
Negotiate the price based on the documented pattern of wear. The vehicle has shown consistent issues with tyres and brake discs across multiple years (2023, 2024, and 2025), which may indicate a need for more frequent consumable replacements or a check of the braking system's overall health. Ask for evidence of a recent service to complement the MOT records.
As a 1.5L diesel engine, this Scenic is designed for efficiency, likely offering good fuel economy on longer journeys. However, maintenance costs should be factored in higher than average due to the observed frequency of tyre and brake component replacements in the MOT history.
Insurance groups for this model vary, but as a family MPV, it typically falls into a mid-range bracket. You should expect annual running costs to include diesel fuel, standard servicing, and a contingency fund for suspension and braking components which have appeared frequently in recent tests.
Pay close attention to the suspension system. The 2025 MOT failure specifically noted a fractured nearside rear coil spring, and the 2024 test noted play in the nearside front anti-roll bar linkage. Inspect the entire undercarriage for signs of worn bushings or loose linkages.
Examine the condition of all four tyres and the brake discs. The MOT history shows a persistent trend of tyres being worn close to the legal limit or perishing (2023, 2024, 2025), and brake discs being pitted or scored (2024, 2025). Ensure the current set is within legal limits and that the discs do not show significant scoring or uneven wear.
This 2013 Renault Scenic 1.5 dCi shows a mileage of 83,945 miles as of October 2025, which is higher than the model average of 6,176 miles per year. The MOT history reveals a frequent pattern of failures and advisories related to tyres, brake discs, and suspension parts. While it has passed its most recent test, the history indicates several recurring mechanical and consumable issues over the last three years.
Aggregate data for this model shows an average MOT pass rate of 72.6%, with common failure points including headlamps, ball joints, and tyres.
