2016 Renault Grand Scenic 1.2L Petrol · SD16 XHX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach to repairs. The most recent test on 11 August 2025 at 69,061 miles showed a failure due to a worn offside front anti-roll bar linkage and an illegal offside front tyre. While the vehicle passed the immediate retest, the recurrence of the nearside rear lamp failure across multiple years suggests the owner only addresses electrical and consumable faults once they result in a formal MOT failure. At 69,061 miles, the Renault Grand Scenic has aged at a consistent and average rate of approximately 7,000 miles per year. The mileage progression shows regular usage patterns, moving from 60,002 miles in July 2023 to 64,928 miles in August 2024, and reaching 69,061 miles by August 2025. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stagnation, which often leads to rubber degradation and brake corrosion, despite the relatively low total mileage. A buyer should physically inspect the front suspension components specifically, as the anti-roll bar linkage failure in 2025 often precedes wider wear in ball joints and suspension bushes. The record of the offside front tyre being worn on the edge indicates a potential alignment issue or worn shock absorber that requires a professional check to prevent further premature tyre degradation. Given the previous failure for reduced headlamp intensity in 2024, the condition of the lens housings and internal wiring should be verified to ensure no internal moisture ingress is present that could affect night driving safety.
