2015 Renault Grand Scenic 1.5L Diesel · RF15 AYP

The vehicle currently maintains a stable roadworthiness status following a clean pass in the most recent MOT test on June 4 2025 at 30,878 miles. This result indicates an improvement over the previous year, as the owner successfully addressed previously identified safety defects. While the history shows a period of tyre-related failures, the lack of defects in the latest inspection suggests the vehicle currently meets all minimum safety standards. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,800 miles per year. The data shows consistent, low-usage intervals between 21,498 miles in June 2022 and 30,878 miles in June 2025. While this low mileage typically reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine, the long intervals between tests can lead to the degradation of rubber components. The record suggests the car likely sits for long periods rather than undergoing heavy use. A buyer must focus their physical inspection on the rubber components due to a recurring trend of structural failure. The 2023 test at 24,415 miles flagged perishing on all four tyres, and the 2024 failure at 27,807 miles involved a structural sidewall tear on the nearside rear and cracking on the offside rear. These issues are indicative of age-related dry rot rather than tread wear. You should check the tyre sidewalls for further cracking and inspect the suspension bushes for perished rubber, which often occurs when vehicles remain stationary. Given the low mileage, the braking system should be checked for surface corrosion or seized calipers, as discs frequently rust on cars not driven regularly. The MOT history shows no significant structural corrosion or exhaust issues, but the age of the vehicle necessitates a close look at the undercarriage for any hidden rust that has not yet triggered a tester failure.
