Our Verdict
Proceed with caution and thorough mechanical inspection. While the recent MOT history shows no defects, the pattern of failures in previous years suggests potential maintenance requirements.
When viewing this 1.5L diesel Grand Scenic, prioritize a thorough check of the suspension and steering components. Given that the aggregate data for this model identifies ball joints as a top failure reason, you should check for any knocking or uneven tyre wear.
Ask the seller for evidence of recent maintenance, specifically regarding tyres and lighting, as these are common failure points for the Grand Scenic. Because the vehicle has covered over 109,000 miles, ensure that any major service items, such as the timing belt, are accounted for in the service history, as these are critical for this engine type.
As a 1461cc diesel, this vehicle is likely to offer decent fuel economy for family use, though actual figures will depend on driving style and load. Tax and insurance groups for a 2010 Grand Scenic vary, but you should confirm the specific band for this 1.5L engine variant.
Maintenance costs should be budgeted for regularly, particularly for consumables like tyres and suspension parts which are statistically common failures for this model. Expect typical diesel maintenance costs, including periodic oil changes and potential diesel particulate filter (DPF) attention if used primarily for short urban trips.
Focus your inspection on the underside of the vehicle. The aggregate data for the Renault Grand Scenic highlights ball joints and tyres as frequent MOT failure reasons; therefore, check for play in the steering and the condition of all four tyres, including tread depth and sidewall integrity.
Additionally, inspect the headlamps for clarity and correct alignment, as headlamp issues are a known top failure reason for this model. Given the mileage of 109,416, also check for any signs of fluid leaks around the engine bay and ensure the diesel engine starts smoothly without excessive smoke.
This 2010 blue Renault Grand Scenic (PY10LJC) has covered 109,416 miles since its first registration in August 2010. The MOT history shows a series of failures in 2021 and 2022, though the most recent test in November 2022 resulted in a pass with no recorded defects. The mileage is significantly higher than the model average of 7,609 miles per year.
Aggregate data from 29,372 vehicles shows a 71.0% average MOT pass rate for this model, with common failures involving tyres, ball joints, and headlamps.
