2010 Renault Grand Scenic 1.4L Petrol · NV10 DFE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 23 April 2026 at 81,150 miles with no defects. The maintenance trend is inconsistent, characterized by a pattern of failing the initial test and passing on the same or following day. Recent failures in April 2026 indicate a decline in suspension health, specifically a fractured nearside front coil spring and a worn suspension bush. The mileage is low for a sixteen year old vehicle, averaging roughly 5,072 miles per year. The record shows steady usage, increasing from 50,538 miles in April 2019 to 81,150 miles in April 2026. There are no significant gaps in testing or sudden spikes in mileage that would suggest erratic use or long periods of stagnation. A buyer should focus on the exhaust system and emissions. The car failed on exhaust emissions in April 2023, April 2024, and April 2025. This recurring issue suggests the previous owner addressed symptoms rather than the root cause of the emissions failure. While the most recent test was clean, the history of Lambda and carbon monoxide failures warrants a check for catalyst efficiency or sensor health. The suspension and braking systems also require scrutiny. The April 2026 failure on the nearside front coil spring and bush suggests the chassis is now subject to age-related fatigue. Combined with a 2019 advisory for front brake discs and a 2020 failure for rear brake pads, the record implies a reactive approach to maintenance. A physical inspection should verify that the recent suspension repairs were carried out to a professional standard and that the braking system is not currently suffering from corrosion or uneven wear.
