2017 Renault Grand Scenic 1.2L Petrol · MV67 VEL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in August 2025 at 68,137 miles. The maintenance trend shows a transition from reactive repairs to a more stable state in recent months. While the 2024 test revealed multiple suspension-related failures and lighting issues, the absence of new advisories in the 2025 record suggests the owner addressed the previously flagged mechanical wear and consumable items prior to the last inspection. The mileage pattern is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,500 miles per year. Between October 2021 at 36,690 miles and August 2025 at 68,137 miles, the car covered over 31,000 miles, indicating steady use rather than long periods of stagnation. The four-thousand-mile interval between the 2024 and 2025 tests reflects a regular usage cycle, which generally helps in preventing the degradation of rubber components and brake seals. A buyer should conduct a close physical inspection of the front suspension geometry, as the 2024 test flagged severely deteriorated ball joint dust covers and a worn suspension arm bush. Although these were cleared, the recurring nature of these front-end faults suggests the assembly may be prone to accelerated wear. The history also shows a consistent pattern of brake component replacement, with pads and discs noted repeatedly between 2021 and 2023. You must verify the current thickness of the front brake pads and check for any binding calipers or uneven wear to ensure the previous maintenance was performed to a professional standard.
