2009 Renault Scenic 1.4L Petrol · RO59 KTP

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a developing decline regarding suspension and tyre management. While the most recent test in November 2025 at 89,377 miles passed, the tester flagged an offside front suspension arm ball joint and a worn nearside rear tyre. These specific issues mirror identical findings from the October 2024 test at 88,020 miles, indicating that the owner has failed to address mechanical wear that was previously identified. At 17 years old, the recorded mileage of 89,377 miles represents a low average of approximately 5,257 miles per year. This low usage pattern is consistent across the records, with significant gaps between tests, such as the 6,864 miles driven between November 2022 and 2023. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, long periods of standing or infrequent use can lead to the degradation of rubber components and seals, which aligns with the recurring suspension-related faults. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension geometry. The history shows a pattern of failing ball joints and track rod end issues dating back to 2021, suggesting the steering components are reaching the end of their functional life. You should check for play in all ball joints and inspect the suspension bushings for cracking. Furthermore, the recurring edge wear on the nearside rear tyre across two consecutive suggests an alignment issue or a faulty rear shock that requires immediate attention to prevent further premature tyre failure.
