2014 Renault Scenic 1.5L Diesel · OU64 ONP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows signs of inconsistency and reactive repairing. While the most recent test in March 2026 resulted in a pass, it followed a failure just four miles prior due to significant mechanical issues including a fractured coil spring and an ABS system fault. This suggests that the car is only being serviced when it fails an official inspection rather than being subjected to a rigorous preventative maintenance schedule. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,500 miles per year. However, there are notable gaps in usage; for instance, the car covered only 1,300 miles between April 2025 and March 2026, and roughly 1,200 miles in the preceding year. While low mileage reduces engine wear, long periods can lead to the degradation of rubber components and seals, which may be evidenced by the snapped artwork spring despite the low distance. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system, as the ABS lamp was previously flagged and may indicate a sensor or module fault that requires immediate attention. Given the failure of the offside rear artwork spring, a full way check of all remaining springs is necessary to ensure no further fractures are imminent. Additionally, the tyres should be checked for age-related cracking and deformation, as the previous failure for exposed cords indicates the rubber may be reaching its structural limit despite remaining tread depth.
