2014 Renault Grand Scenic 1.5L Diesel · RJ64 CWX

The vehicle currently presents an inconsistent roadworthiness profile following a recent MOT failure in March 2026. While the car maintained a clean record for several years, the most recent test at 95,057 miles resulted in a failure with no specific defects listed in the summary, suggesting a significant mechanical issue or a compliance failure that was not addressed prior to the inspection. The maintenance trend is currently worsening as the vehicle moved from a clean pass to a state of failure after a period of stability. The mileage data reveals a major discrepancy and irregular usage patterns. Between March 2024 at 68,411 miles and March 2025 at 131,870 miles, the vehicle covered over 63,000 miles in a single year, which far exceeds the typical annual average for this age. However, the recorded mileage of 95,057 miles in March 2026 shows a massive drop or data entry error compared to the previous year's test. This inconsistency suggests either an odometer error, clock tampering, or a data recording mistake, which undermines the reliability of the vehicle's wear and tear history. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection to reconcile the mileage discrepancies and investigate the recent failure. Given the high-intensity usage noted in 2024, focus should be on the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake components which likely suffered accelerated wear. Check for structural corrosion on the chassis and inspect the exhaust system, as the age of the vehicle makes it prone to degradation. The lack of advisories in previous tests despite high mileage bursts indicates that preventative maintenance may have been neglected in favor of reactive repairs.
