2025 Renault Scenic Tcno Esprt Alpne ETC EV Electric · SP22 VMP

The vehicle currently has no recorded MOT history, which is expected given its 2025 registration as it remains within the initial three year exemption period for new cars in the United Kingdom. Consequently, there is no official DVSA data to establish a maintenance trend or identify recurring mechanical failures. At this stage of its lifecycle, the vehicle is presumed to be in a near-new condition, though the absence of a test record means the buyer must rely entirely on the manufacturer warranty and documented service history to verify its roadworthiness. There is insufficient mileage data available to determine the annual usage rate or assess whether the vehicle has been subjected to excessive wear or prolonged periods of inactivity. For a modern electric vehicle of this age, high mileage typically accelerates the wear of suspension bushes and tyres due to the increased curb weight of the battery pack. Conversely, very low usage can be equally detrimental, potentially leading to the degradation of the auxiliary 12V battery or the onset of brake caliper binding. Given the lack of MOT advisories, a physical inspection should focus on the tyres and braking system. Inspect the tyre sidewalls for any signs of perishing or cracking if the car has been standing, and check for uneven wear patterns that could indicate alignment issues. Because electric vehicles rely heavily on regenerative braking, the physical brake discs are often underutilised and prone to surface corrosion or sticking calipers. During a test drive, listen for any grinding noises or feel for a shudder under braking, which would suggest the discs have become pitted or the calipers are binding. Particular attention must be paid to the electrical health and calendar-based maintenance. Request a battery state of health report to ensure the high voltage system is performing within factory parameters and verify that the 12V starter battery is holding a stable charge. Although EVs have fewer moving parts, you should confirm that the brake fluid has been checked for moisture contamination and that the cabin and battery thermal management filters have been serviced according to the manufacturer schedule. Ensure the service book is stamped to maintain the validity of the manufacturer warranty.
