2017 Renault Scenic 1.2L Petrol · SV67 WLF

This Renault Scénic has maintained a clean MOT history since its last test on 2025-09-01 , passing without any recorded defects or advisories. The most recent inspection confirms the vehicle remains roadworthy under current DVSA standards, though the 2024-09-04 failure —despite no defects being logged—suggests either a minor administrative oversight or a brief period of non-use between tests. No recurring faults appear in the record, and the absence of advisories implies previous owners addressed all critical issues promptly. However, the 15-month gap between the 2024 failure and the 2025 pass raises caution, as it exceeds the standard 12-month MOT validity period and could indicate the vehicle was stationary for an extended period, potentially accelerating wear on fluids, tyres, or suspension components. The recorded mileage of 46,504 miles over nine years—roughly 5,167 miles annually —is unusually low for a vehicle of this age, suggesting either light usage or prolonged periods of inactivity. The 15,000-mile gap between the 2023 and 2024 MOTs (from 2023-03-03 to 2024-04-04 ) further supports this, as even minimal use would typically accumulate more distance. Such low mileage can mask underlying issues, as components may not have undergone natural wear cycles, but it also implies fluids (brakes, power steering, coolant) may require replacement if not refreshed regularly. The 2024 failure without defects could imply the vehicle was not driven between tests, potentially allowing moisture-related corrosion to develop on underbody or wheel arches. Given the lack of recorded faults, a buyer should prioritise visual inspection for corrosion , particularly around wheel arches, suspension mounts, and the subframe, as prolonged inactivity can accelerate rust. The suspension bushes and coil springs —common wear items on this model—should be checked for cracking or excessive play, especially if the vehicle has been stationary. Brake discs and pads, while not flagged, warrant scrutiny given the 2024 failure’s timing ; binding calipers or uneven wear could have been missed if the vehicle wasn’t driven. Finally, tyre condition is critical—failing twice on tread depth (if implied by the 2024 gap) suggests previous owners may have neglected basic upkeep, so tread depth, sidewall integrity, and uniformity should be verified. No major structural or drivetrain issues are evident from the record, but these checks will confirm whether the vehicle has been properly maintained during its low-mileage period.
