Our Verdict
Proceed with caution and budget for imme
When inspecting this specific Renault Scenic, you should prioritize a thorough check of the braking system. The MOT history shows a recurring theme of fluctuating service brakes and pitted or scored discs between 2023 and 2024. Ensure that the recent brake work has been fully addressed and isn't just a temporary fix for a larger caliper issue.
Additionally, verify the recent repair to the offside front drive shaft CV boot reported in September 2025. Given that this was a significant failure, ask for receipts to confirm the joint itself was inspected and not just the rubber boot. Because this vehicle has covered much higher mileage than the aggregate model average, a comprehensive service history check is essential to see how the diesel engine has been maintained.
As a 1.5L diesel, this Scenic is likely to offer reasonable fuel economy for long-distance driving, though actual costs will depend on driving style. The tax band and insurance group for a 2013 1461cc diesel model are typically moderate, making it a common choice for families.
Maintenance costs may be slightly elevated due to the age and mileage. You should budget for regular replacement of consumables like brake discs and pads, which have appeared frequently in the MOT record. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance, fall in the mid-range for this vehicle type.
Focus heavily on the drivetrain and braking components. The MOT history for LL13XLY specifically notes issues with the offside front CV boot and multiple instances of nearside rear brake fluctuations and pitted discs. Physically inspect the brake pads, discs, and calipers for signs of uneven wear or sticking.
Check the wheel bearings as well; the 2024 MOT recorded slight play in both the nearside and offside front wheel bearings. Finally, ensure all exterior lighting and mirrors are secure, as the 2023 failure highlighted issues with insecure mirrors and side repeaters.
This 2013 red Renault Scenic 1.5 dCi has covered 113,360 miles, which is significantly higher than the model average of 6,176 miles per year. The MOT history reveals a pattern of brake-related advisories and failures, alongside a recent CV boot issue. Prospective buyers should weigh the higher-than-average mileage against the recorded maintenance requirements.
Aggregate data for this model shows a 72.6% MOT pass rate, with common failures related to headlamps, ball joints, and tyres.
