2007 Renault Grand Scenic 2.0L Petrol · SW57 BYH

The vehicle presents a concerning roadworthiness profile with a worsening trend of significant mechanical and electronic failures. The most recent recorded test in November 2022 at 142,359 miles resulted in a comprehensive failure involving critical safety systems, including an inoperative electronic parking brake, ABS faults, and SRS warning lamp illumination. These issues, combined with a parking brake efficiency below 50 percent, suggest the vehicle has suffered from deferred maintenance and complex component failures that were not fully resolved before the record expired. At 142,359 miles over 19 years, the vehicle has averaged approximately 7,500 miles per year, which is consistent with typical usage for an older family MPV. However, the data shows a significant gap in oversight, with the last recorded MOT occurring over three years ago in late 2022. Given the severity of the faults noted in that final test, the lack of a subsequent test record means the current mechanical state of the steering, braking, and electronic systems is entirely unknown and likely un-roadworthy or potentially hazardous if the repairs were never addressed since 2022. A buyer must prioritize a thorough inspection of the steering and suspension components, as steering rack inner joint play was flagged repeatedly in both 2021 and 2022. The braking system shows a history of instability, ranging from binding calipers in 2021 to severe imbalance and parking brake failure in 2022. Specific attention is also required for the exhaust mounting, which has been noted as insecure in multiple tests, and the electronic modules governing the ABS and electronic parking brake, which are often expensive to rectify on a vehicle of this age.
