Our Verdict
A solid option for those seeking a pract
When inspecting this 1.5 dCi Grand Scenic, focus on verifying the service intervals, as MOT records do not confirm mechanical maintenance. Given the diesel engine, check for any signs of smoothness in the idle and ensure the timing belt (cambelt) has been replaced according to Renault's recommended intervals for this 1461cc unit.
Negotiate based on the upcoming service requirements. While the MOT history is clean, the model aggregate data suggests that tyres, ball joints, and headlamps are frequent failure points for this type of vehicle, so check these components specifically during your test drive.
As a 1.5L diesel, this Grand Scenic is designed for efficiency, making it suitable for longer motorway journeys. You should check the specific tax band for the LS12BRF registration, but diesel models from this era typically fall into moderate tax brackets.
Insurance groups for the Grand Scenic vary, so obtain a quote based on your profile. Maintenance costs for this model are generally predictable, though you should budget for common wear-and-tear items like tyres and suspension components which are statistically common for this model type.
Based on the aggregate data for the Renault Grand Scenic, pay close attention to the condition of the tyres and the integrity of the headlamps. The MOT history for this specific vehicle shows no recent failures, but it is prudent to check the ball joints and suspension components, as these are top failure reasons for the model.
Additionally, inspect the brake pads and discs, as well as the overall condition of the blue paintwork and exterior trim, to ensure there is no significant degradation. Since the 2025 MOT showed no defects, the vehicle appears to have met the minimum safety standards recently.
This 2012 blue Renault Grand Scenic has covered 80,167 miles since its first registration in March 2012. Its MOT history shows a consistent pattern of passes, with the most recent test in October 2025 recording no defects. Compared to the model aggregate average of 7,609 miles per year, this vehicle's mileage is slightly higher than typical for its age.
Aggregate data for this model shows a 71.0% MOT pass rate across 29,372 analysed vehicles.
