2011 Renault Scenic 1.5L Diesel · SD61 AEJ

The 2011 Renault Scenic has a stable roadworthiness record based on its most recent MOT, which passed on 2025-06-25 at 97,096 miles. However, the vehicle experienced a failure on 2025-06-23 at 97,087 miles, just two days prior, with no defects recorded. This pattern of consecutive passes and failures without specific issues noted suggests either administrative inconsistencies or minor, unresolved concerns. The prior tests from 2024 and 2023 also showed no defects, indicating a generally clean maintenance history despite the 2025 anomalies. Mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a 15-year-old vehicle, averaging 6,473 miles annually. The jump from 88,493 miles in 2023 to 97,096 miles in 2025 reflects a slight increase, but no rapid accumulation that would signal excessive wear. The MOT history lacks detailed defect reports, which may imply either minimal issues or incomplete testing. The absence of structural, brake, or suspension-related findings in the records is reassuring, though the repeated failures warrant scrutiny. A buyer should verify the vehicle’s suspension components, including bushes and coil springs, as well as brake discs and calipers, given the 2025 failures. Corrosion checks on the underbody and chassis are advisable, particularly for a 15-year-old model. While the latest MOT confirms compliance, the lack of defect details in prior failures means a physical inspection is critical to confirm the absence of hidden issues. The vehicle appears mechanically sound but requires due diligence to address potential unresolved concerns.
