Our Verdict
Proceed with caution and a thorough mech
When viewing this vehicle, prioritise a physical inspection of the suspension components. The 2025 MOT failure specifically highlighted a worn nearside front lower suspension arm ball joint, so you should check for any play or knocking sounds when driving over uneven surfaces. Ensure all exterior lighting is fully functional, as the most recent MOT in July 2026 noted a non-obligatory stop lamp issue.
Ask the seller for evidence of recent maintenance regarding tyres and suspension, given the previous failures in these areas. Because this 1.5L diesel engine has covered over 100,000 miles, you should also verify if the timing belt (cambelt) and water pump have been replaced according to the manufacturer's schedule, as this is a critical maintenance item for this engine type.
The 1461cc diesel engine is generally designed for efficiency, making it suitable for long-distance motorway driving. However, running costs will be influenced by its age and mileage. You should expect typical maintenance costs for a vehicle of this age, particularly regarding suspension parts and tyres, which have appeared in its MOT history.
Insurance groups for the Grand Scenic vary, but as a family vehicle, it typically sits in a mid-range group. Tax and fuel economy will depend on the specific Euro emissions standard of this 2013 model. An estimated annual running cost, including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance, would likely fall between £1,200 and £1,500.
Focus your inspection on the suspension and steering. The 2025 MOT failure for an 'excessively worn' nearside front lower suspension arm ball joint indicates that wear-and-tear components may be reaching the end of their life. Check both sides of the vehicle for similar signs of wear.
Additionally, inspect the tyres carefully. The 2025 record showed a tyre with a cut deep enough to reach the ply/cords. Check the current tread depth and sidewall integrity on all four tyres. Finally, check the condition of the windscreen, as the 2024 MOT noted damage, and ensure all light lenses (including the offside rear, which was cracked in 2023) are intact and clear.
This 2013 Renault Grand Scenic, finished in red, has covered 104,522 miles since its first registration in June 2013. The MOT history shows a mix of results, including a failure in July 2025 due to a worn suspension ball joint and a damaged tyre. The mileage is significantly higher than the model average of 7,626 miles per year, suggesting it has been used extensively.
Aggregate data from nearly 30,000 vehicles shows a 71.1% average MOT pass rate for this model, with common failures relating to tyres, headlamps, and coil springs.
