2015 Renault Grand Scenic 1.5L Diesel · MX65 VBF

The vehicle remains roadworthy as of its most recent MOT on 2026-06-01, passing with only a minor advisory regarding the rear tyre tread nearing the legal limit. However, the maintenance trend is clearly worsening — tyre wear and brake disc degradation have recurred across multiple tests, indicating a pattern of deferred or inconsistent servicing rather than a resolved issue. The 2024 failure was particularly severe, flagging multiple brake discs as seriously weakened and nearside front inner tyre tread as non-compliant, suggesting a lack of proactive maintenance that has persisted into the current year. Mileage progression shows a steady climb from 79,740 miles in early 2024 to 105,105 miles by mid-2026, averaging roughly 9,500 miles annually — a typical rate for a vehicle of this age. There are no significant gaps in testing, and the 13,000-mile jump between the 2024 and 2026 tests is consistent with normal usage. The absence of any major mechanical failures between 2025-04-23 and 2026-06-01 suggests the owner may have addressed the most critical issues after the 2024 failure, but the recurring tyre and brake concerns point to a broader pattern of neglect rather than a one-off oversight. Buyers should inspect the entire braking system in person, particularly the inner and outer brake discs on all four wheels, as the 2024 report noted multiple discs as seriously weakened — a condition that can compromise stopping power and safety. Suspension components, especially the rear bushes and coil springs, should be checked for wear or binding, as the tyre wear patterns suggest uneven load distribution or alignment issues. The nearside front inner tyre tread was flagged twice, indicating possible wheel alignment or suspension geometry problems. Also examine the exhaust system for corrosion and structural integrity, as the 2024 failure included advisories on brake disc condition that may reflect broader mechanical fatigue. The vehicle’s history implies that while it has been kept on the road, it has not been maintained to a high standard, and a thorough pre-purchase inspection is essential.
