2009 Renault Scenic 1.5L Diesel · SA59 XWC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach to repairs. The most recent test in November 2025 at 122,588 miles shows a pass following a failure just five days prior. This failure was triggered by bald front tyres with tread depth below the legal limit and corroded rear brake discs. While these issues were rectified to secure the pass, the pattern suggests the owner only addresses mechanical and consumable faults when they reach the point of MOT failure. At 17 years old, the recorded 122,588 miles represent an average of approximately 7,200 miles per year, which is consistent with typical family vehicle usage. There is a significant three-year data gap between the June 2022 and November 2025 tests, during which the vehicle covered roughly 10,000 miles. This lower annual mileage often masks age-related degradation of rubber components and fluid-related parts, as seen in the 2022 failure involving a split CV boot and seat belt issues despite the relatively low mileage. A buyer must physically inspect the offside outer drive shaft area, as the split boot noted in 2022 indicates a risk of grease loss and joint failure if not replaced. The pitted rear brake discs identified in late 2025 warrant a close look at the calipers and sliding pins to ensure corrosion has not led to mechanical binding. Given the vehicle's age, a thorough check of the underbody for structural corrosion and the suspension bushes is essential, as the record does not explicitly detail structural integrity beyond the most recent pass.
