2014 Renault Scenic 1.5L Diesel · NG14 FNK

The vehicle presents a roadworthy status as of the most recent test on 23 September 2025 at 79,104 miles, where the tester passed it with no defects recorded. Maintenance trend across the supplied records remains stable, with no mechanical advisories or failures on mechanical grounds. The preceding day's test on 22 September 2025 at 79,101 miles returned a fail yet listed no defects, a pattern repeated on 5 January 2024 at 71,346 miles before a pass on 8 January 2024 at identical mileage. Such paired fail-pass entries with zero recorded faults suggest administrative anomalies rather than worsening condition. Mileage accumulation reflects light use for a 2014 model. The odometer read 71,346 miles at the January 2024 pass, rose to 76,015 miles by January 2025, and reached 79,104 miles by September 2025. That equates to roughly 4,700 miles per year in the recorded window, below the typical 6,600 annual average for the age. The sparse supplied history shows no rapid accumulation or prolonged standing beyond normal low-mileage commuting. Previous owners appear to have maintained test currency annually, though the unexplained fails hint at cursory pre-test checks. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the Scenic's age and the MOT's lack of recorded advisories. The tester logged no corrosion or structural integrity concerns, but twelve-year-old Renaults commonly develop underbody rust and worn trailing arm bushes that a clean MOT does not always flag. Verify the front calipers for binding and examine exhaust emissions against current limits during a road trial. The repeated no-defect fails warrant a check of the DVSA failure reasons outside this summary, as the record omits specified faults. Assuming those were procedural, the mechanical evidence points to a lightly used, structurally sound example. Prior owners kept the car through annual tests without accruing consumable wear flags such as tyres or wiper blades, indicating basic upkeep was not neglected.
