2013 Renault G Scenic D-QUE TT Energy Dciss 1.6L Diesel · LR13 CZS

The vehicle currently presents a worsening maintenance trend following a period of relatively defect-free operation. While it passed its most recent test in September 2025 at 115,071 miles, this followed two failures within just five days that reveal a significant lapse in basic servicing intervals. The transition from a clean record in 2023 and 2024 to a cluster of failures in 2025 suggests that the owner is only addressing faults when legally mandated rather than performing preventative maintenance. At 115,071 miles over 13 years, the vehicle averages approximately 8,850 miles per year, which is consistent with typical UK usage for a family MPV. However, the data shows a recent burst of activity with nearly 5,000 miles covered between November 2023 and September 2025. This accumulation, combined with the sudden failure of brake components and lighting, indicates that the vehicle is reaching a stage where wear-and-tear on mechanical parts and rubber components is likely to reach the end of their functional life simultaneously. A prospective buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the braking system and suspension geometry. The September 2025 records flagged thin rear brake pads, pitted rear discs, and a corroded nearside rear brake pipe obscured by grease. The presence of play in the offside front anti-roll bar ball joint indicates the beginning of suspension degradation that requires attention. Furthermore, the previous failure regarding the Engine Management Indicator Lamp (MIL) is a critical red flag; an inoperative light can mask underlying engine faults or emissions failures, which necessitates a professional diagnostic scan to ensure no hidden mechanical issues remain stored in the system.
