2016 Renault Grand Scenic 1.5L Diesel · SD16 XEW

The vehicle remains roadworthy, having passed its most recent inspection in March 2026 at 120,406 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the latest report highlights minor cosmetic defects such as discoloured indicators and an obstructed seat belt due to a child seat. While these issues do not impact mechanical integrity, the transition from a clean sheet in 2025 to minor advisories suggests the vehicle is beginning to show age-related wear. The mileage profile indicates consistent, high-intensity usage, averaging approximately 12,000 miles per year over its decade-long life. Between the 2022 test at 69,987 miles and the 2024 test at 94,403 miles, the vehicle covered over 24,000 miles in two years. This steady accumulation suggests regular motorway use which typically places specific stresses on the drivetrain and suspension components. The jump of 13,546 miles between the last two tests confirms that the car has not been stationary for long periods. A buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of the braking system, as the 2024 test flagged pitting and scoring on all four brake discs. While these were not failures at the time, the high mileage suggests the rotors may be nearing the end of their effective service life. Furthermore, the recorded failure of the offside front lower suspension arm bush in 2024 indicates that the rubber components are beginning to degrade. Given the mileage, the remaining wishbone bushes and coil springs should be checked for cracking or play to prevent future development of handling issues.
