2011 Renault Grand Scenic 1.6L Petrol · NV61 AAF

The vehicle remains roadworthy, having passed its latest MOT on 18 March 2026 at 73 911 miles with only a minor advisory on the offside front anti‑roll bar ball joint showing slight play (5.3.4 (a)(i)). After a clean record through 2023, the 2024 test introduced brake binding, rear tyre damage and corrosion on the front lower suspension arms, and the current test adds another light fault, indicating a modest worsening trend rather than a catastrophic decline. Mileage accumulation is low for a 15‑year‑old car, averaging roughly 4 900 miles per year. Between November 2024 (65 292 miles) and March 2026 (73 911 miles) the vehicle added 8 619 miles over 2 years 4 months, while the prior year‑long period saw a 4 234‑mile rise. The gaps between tests show a steady, unremarkable increase with no sudden jumps, suggesting the car has been used lightly or stored for extended periods. A buyer should inspect the offside front anti‑roll bar ball joint for excessive play, test the rear service brakes for binding, and examine the rear tyre for cracking or perishing. The front lower suspension arms merit close scrutiny for corrosion, and the surrounding suspension bushes should be checked for wear. Any rust on structural components, especially around the chassis mounts, should be assessed as the 2024 corrosion advisory hints at potential long‑term degradation. Overall the MOT history points to a mechanically sound vehicle with a low‑mileage profile, but the emerging suspension and braking advisories indicate that routine maintenance has been uneven. A thorough pre‑purchase inspection will confirm whether the minor faults have been addressed and that the low mileage has not concealed neglected wear on critical components.
