2010 Renault Grand Scenic 1.5L Diesel · SH60 AUC

The vehicle shows an improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass during the most recent test on 25 July 2025 at 136,075 miles. While the history reveals a pattern of recurring consumable failures and minor mechanical issues, the absence of any advisories or defects in the latest record suggests that recent upkeep has addressed previous shortcomings. The vehicle has transitioned from a period of frequent failures between 2018 and 2023 to a more stable operational state. The mileage accumulation is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 8,500 miles per year. The record shows steady usage, with the mileage increasing from 65,344 in April 2017 to 136,075 in July 2025. There are no significant gaps in the testing frequency, indicating the vehicle has been in regular use rather than sitting idle for extended periods. The progression of mileage appears logical and supports the assessment of typical long-term usage for a 2010 model. A prospective buyer should focus on the suspension and braking systems during a physical inspection. The MOT history shows several instances of worn anti-roll bar joints, track rod ends, and corroded coil springs, particularly noted in the 2022 tests at 107,507 miles. Although the 2025 test was clear, the recurring nature of these suspension faults suggests that rubber bushes and structural components may be nearing the end of their service life. The tester also flagged a distorted nearside front road wheel in 2021, 2022, and 2024, which warrants a close check for wheel balance and alignment issues. The braking history also requires scrutiny. The 2022 failure at 107,507 miles involved significantly worn rear discs and thin pads, which prevented a full brake performance test. While an oil leak was noted in the July 2024 test at 125,599 miles, it was described as not excessive, yet the buyer should monitor the engine bay for any signs of renewed seepage. Finally, the recurring issues with tyre wear and tread depth across multiple years suggest that previous owners may have deferred tyre replacements, so the current condition of all four tyres should be verified.
