2012 Renault G Scenic D-QUE TT Energy Dciss 1.5L Diesel · LM62 MVY

The vehicle shows a fluctuating maintenance pattern with a recent trend toward worsening mechanical wear. While the most recent test on 7 October 2025 at 84,060 miles resulted in a pass, the vehicle failed just one day prior at 84,057 miles due to multiple suspension component failures. The tester flagged an excessively worn offside front anti-roll bar linkage ball joint and an excessively worn offside front suspension arm ball joint, alongside slight play in the nearside front anti-roll bar linkage. These recurring issues suggest that while the vehicle is currently roadworthy, the front-end suspension components are reaching the end of their service life. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per year. The record shows steady progression from 25,680 miles in September 2015 to 84,060 miles in October 2025. This relatively low annual mileage suggests the car has not been subjected to heavy long-distance motorway use, though the frequency of advisories and failures indicates that maintenance often follows a reactive rather than proactive pattern. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension assembly, specifically checking all ball joints and bushes for play, as the 2025 failure indicates significant wear in these areas. The brake history shows a persistent pattern of corrosion and pitting on the inner brake discs, noted in 2021, 2022, and 2023. Although these were passed, the recurring nature of these advisories suggests the vehicle may sit for periods or be driven in conditions that encourage surface oxidation. The windscreen has also been a recurring point of interest, with stone chips or damage noted in 2022, 2023, and 2025. While these did not prevent the vehicle from passing, the buyer should verify that the glass is clear and free from further cracks. Given the history of fractured coil springs in 2023 and worn anti-roll bar linkages in 2025, a close examination of the entire underside for structural integrity and component fatigue is advisable.
