Our Verdict
Proceed with caution and thorough inspec
When viewing this specific vehicle, prioritise a thorough inspection of the braking system. The records show a history of worn or pitted brake discs in 2023, 2024, and 2025, which suggests that maintenance in this area may be reactive rather than proactive. Ensure the recent repairs following the September 2025 failure—specifically the brake discs and anti-roll bar linkage—have been completed with quality parts and documented with receipts.
Negotiate based on the recent history of component wear. You should also ask for evidence of any recent tyre replacements or wheel refurbishments, given the 'slightly distorted' nearside front road wheel noted in the 2025 failure. Finally, check the service history to see if the 1.5 dCi diesel engine has received regular oil changes, as this is critical for long-term reliability in this model.
The 1461cc diesel engine is generally designed for efficiency, making it suitable for higher mileage users. Fuel economy should be reasonable for a family MPV of this era, though actual figures will depend on driving style and load.
Maintenance costs may be higher than average due to the observed frequency of suspension and braking component replacements. Expect to budget for regular brake servicing and potential suspension upkeep. The estimated annual running cost, including fuel, tax, insurance, and typical maintenance, is approximately £1,200-£1,500.
Focus heavily on the front suspension and steering components. The MOT history for this vehicle shows repeated failures and advisories regarding anti-roll bar linkages and ball joints in 2023, 2024, and 2025. Check for any knocking or clunking sounds when driving over uneven surfaces.
Examine the braking system closely. With multiple records of worn or pitted discs across the front and rear, ensure the current discs and pads are not nearing the end of their life. Additionally, inspect the windscreen; the most recent MOT in October 2025 noted a crease in the offside front windscreen, which may require replacement to prevent further cracking.
This 2013 red Renault Scenic 1.5 dCi has covered 83,501 miles since its first registration in June 2013. The MOT history shows a pattern of recurring issues, particularly with brake discs and anti-roll bar linkages. While it passed its most recent test in October 2025, the previous failure in September 2025 highlighted multiple significant concerns including worn brake discs and a distorted wheel.
Aggregate data for this model shows an average MOT pass rate of 72.6%, with common failure points being headlamps, ball joints, and tyres.
