2011 Renault Grand Scenic 1.5L Diesel · NA61 LUB

The most recent MOT on 2025-08-20 showed a pass with multiple wear-related issues, including corroded brake pipes, pitted brake discs, tyres near the legal limit, and suspension play. These findings align with recurring patterns of corrosion, brake system degradation, and suspension component wear observed in prior MOTs. The 2024-01-24 failure highlighted more severe concerns, including diesel particulate filter (DPF) tampering, underside corrosion, and shock absorber leaks, which were not repeated in the 2025 test. However, the 2025 report still noted persistent issues like brake pipe corrosion and suspension joint play, suggesting ongoing maintenance challenges. The vehicle’s condition shows a mixed trend. While some critical issues from the 2024 failure (e.g., DPF tampering, shock absorber leaks) were not repeated in 2025, others like brake wear and corrosion remained. The 2023 and 2024 MOTs included multiple warnings about suspension joints, brake discs, and tyre wear, indicating a gradual accumulation of wear rather than sudden deterioration. The 2025 test did not reveal new major defects, but the persistence of minor issues suggests the vehicle requires regular monitoring. At 138,177 miles over 15 years, the mileage is typical for the age, averaging ~9,212 miles annually. This suggests moderate use rather than heavy wear or prolonged inactivity.
