Our Verdict
Proceed with caution and budget for imme
When viewing this specific vehicle, check that all the items noted in the May 2026 MOT advisories—specifically the nearside rear coil spring corrosion and the various ball joints—have been addressed or are being accounted for in the sale price. You should also verify the condition of all four tyres, as the 2026 record noted cracking and perishing on the rear tyres.
Ask the seller for evidence of recent work regarding the suspension components. Given the recurring issues with anti-roll bar linkages and wishbone bushes across multiple years (2024, 2025, and 2026), it is wise to ensure these have been replaced with quality parts rather than just being 'passed' with advisories.
The 1.6L diesel engine is generally chosen for its efficiency on longer journeys. Expect reasonable fuel economy, though actual figures will depend on your driving style and load. As a 2013 diesel, you should check the local ULEZ or Clean Air Zone compliance, as this may affect daily running costs in certain UK cities.
Maintenance costs for this model often include periodic replacement of suspension components and tyres, both of which have appeared frequently in this vehicle's MOT history. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance, are likely to be moderate.
Pay close attention to the underside of the vehicle. The May 2026 MOT specifically flagged a corroded nearside rear coil spring, which is a safety-critical item. You should also inspect the front suspension area, specifically the track rod ends and inner suspension arm bushes, as these have been noted as worn or having 'play' in several recent tests.
Additionally, check the condition of the tyres for any signs of perishing or cracking, as this was a recurring advisory in the latest record. Finally, ensure the windscreen washer system is fully functional, as 'insufficient washer liquid' was a cause of failure in the May 2026 test.
This 2013 red Renault Grand Scenic 1.6 dCi has covered 83,856 miles, which is relatively moderate for its age. However, the MOT history shows a pattern of suspension-related advisories and a recent failure in May 2026. While it passed its most recent test, the vehicle has a history of wear in anti-roll bar joints, suspension bushes, and tyre degradation.
Aggregate data for this model shows an average MOT pass rate of 71.1%, with common failure points including tyres, headlamps, and coil springs.
