2010 Renault G Scenic DY-Ique Ttom DCI 1.9L Diesel · OU10 XLS

The most recent MOT test on 4 June 2025 confirms the vehicle remains roadworthy, with no defects or advisories recorded. This marks a consistent three-year pass streak, including a near-miss failure on 16 May 2023—though no defects were logged, suggesting either a minor administrative oversight or a test centre procedural anomaly. The absence of recurring advisories or repeated failures indicates no obvious pattern of neglect in critical systems. However, the 2023 failure date is unusually close to the preceding pass (17 May 2023), raising a minor flag over potential last-minute repairs or a rushed inspection window. Overall, the trend is stable, with no evidence of worsening mechanical issues. The recorded mileage of 136,640 miles over 16 years aligns with typical usage patterns for this vehicle, averaging around 8,500 miles annually. There are no significant gaps or spikes in the MOT history to suggest prolonged neglect or aggressive driving. The most recent test occurred just over two years ago, which is within the standard 12-month MOT cycle, though it now stands slightly overdue by 11 months. No advisories in prior tests hint at impending failures, but the lack of recent inspection means some components may now require closer scrutiny. Given the clean MOT history, priority should be given to inspecting high-wear items not directly tested by the MOT but critical for long-term reliability. Focus on the suspension—particularly rear bushes and coil springs—given the vehicle’s age and mileage, as these often degrade gradually without immediate MOT failure. Examine brake calipers and pads for binding or uneven wear, especially if the vehicle has been used heavily in wet conditions. Corrosion should be checked at wheel arches, sills, and the subframe, as these areas are prone to deterioration over 16 years. Finally, verify the integrity of the exhaust system for leaks or sagging, as catalytic converter failure is a common late-stage issue in diesel models like this. No advisories suggest imminent structural risks, but a professional pre-purchase inspection is advisable to confirm these components remain sound.
