Our Verdict
Exercise caution before purchasing this
When inspecting this Renault Scenic, your primary focus should be on the braking system. The most recent MOT history shows a failure in August 2026 due to thin front brake pads and pitted discs on both front and rear axles. You should verify if the pads and discs were actually replaced or merely adjusted, and check for any remaining advisories regarding brake surface quality.
Negotiate based on the high mileage and the frequency of component replacements seen in the records. Ask for evidence of a recent service to ensure that the diesel engine has been maintained according to manufacturer intervals, especially given the 147,313 miles recorded. Check the condition of the brake pipes, as the 2024 MOT noted corrosion on the offside rear brake pipe.
As a 1461cc diesel, this vehicle is likely to offer decent fuel economy for long-distance driving, though actual costs will depend on driving style and load. Tax and insurance groups for a 2013 Scenic typically fall into mid-range brackets.
Maintenance costs may be higher than average due to the age and mileage. The MOT history suggests that consumable items like brake discs, pads, and bulbs are frequent replacement items for this specific car. Expect to budget for regular servicing of the diesel engine and potential suspension or exhaust work as the vehicle approaches higher mileage thresholds.
Thoroughly inspect the braking system. The MOT history for this vehicle shows a recurring theme of 'worn, pitted or scored' brake discs across multiple years (2025 and 2026). Ensure that all four discs and pads have been replaced recently and are not showing signs of uneven wear or scoring.
Additionally, check the lighting system. The 2025 MOT failure included multiple non-functioning position lamps. Inspect all exterior lights, including indicators and brake lights, to ensure they are fully operational. Finally, look for signs of corrosion around the brake pipes, specifically near the rear section, following the failure recorded in August 2024.
This 2013 silver Renault Scenic 1.5 dCi has covered 147,313 miles as of August 2026, which is significantly higher than the model average of 6,176 miles per year. The MOT history reveals a pattern of brake-related failures and advisories, specifically regarding worn or pitted brake discs. Recent tests in 2025 and 2026 indicate that while faults are being addressed, they appear frequently in the testing cycle.
Aggregate data for this model shows an average MOT pass rate of 72.6%, with common failures often relating to headlamps, ball joints, and tyres.
