Our Verdict
Proceed with caution and budget for upco
When viewing this Grand Scenic, check the service history specifically for evidence of suspension and brake maintenance, as the MOT records show frequent advisories in these areas. Pay close attention to the condition of the front suspension, as ball joint issues have appeared in multiple years (2025 and 2026).
Negotiate based on the recent advisories regarding rear brake discs and pads recorded in March 2026. You should also verify if the corrosion noted on the brake pipes in 2024 has been professionally addressed or merely cleaned, as this is a recurring safety-critical area for this model.
As a 1.6L diesel, this vehicle is likely to offer decent fuel economy for long-distance driving, though actual figures will depend on driving style and load. Tax and insurance groups for a 2013 Grand Scenic are typically moderate, making it a common choice for families.
Maintenance costs may be higher than average due to the frequency of suspension-related items appearing in the MOT history. Expect to budget for regular tyre replacements and brake servicing. The estimated annual running cost is approximately £1,200-£1,500, including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance.
Focus your inspection on the underside of the vehicle. The MOT history shows a pattern of suspension wear, specifically ball joints and track rod ends, as well as previous issues with brake pipe corrosion in 2024. It is vital to ensure these have been properly repaired rather than just addressed with grease.
Additionally, inspect the braking system thoroughly. The most recent MOT in March 2026 flagged worn rear brake discs and thinning pads. Check for any signs of uneven tyre wear, as the vehicle has had several advisories regarding tyres being close to the legal limit in recent years.
This 2013 red Renault Grand Scenic has covered 134,414 miles as of its last MOT in March 2026. The MOT history reveals consistent issues with suspension components, such as ball joints and track rod ends, alongside various brake and tyre advisories. Given the mileage and the age of the vehicle, buyers should prepare for potential mechanical upkeep.
Aggregate data for this model shows a 71.1% MOT pass rate, with common failures related to tyres, headlamps, and coil springs.
