2014 Renault Scenic 1.5L Diesel · SY64 WOM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 20 October 2025 at 67,499 miles with no remaining defects. The maintenance trend is inconsistent, characterized by a pattern of failing the initial test and passing on the same day after reactive repairs. Recent failures in October 2025 highlight a suspect injector leak causing exhaust fumes in the cabin, alongside basic electrical faults with the rear stop lamps. The mileage is notably low for a twelve year old vehicle, averaging roughly 5,625 miles per year. Growth has been steady and predictable, moving from 26,906 miles in October 2017 to 67,499 miles by October 2025. This low usage suggests the car has not been subjected to heavy motorway wear, though it increases the likelihood of components perishing due to age rather than friction. A buyer should scrutinize the suspension and braking systems due to recurring issues. Both rear coil springs were fractured in October 2023 at 60,147 miles, and the anti-roll bar linkage showed play in October 2024. The braking system has a history of neglect; in October 2020 at 45,522 miles, the car failed on both service and parking brake efficiency, and rear brake pads were flagged as thin in October 2024. Attention should also be paid to the rubber components and bodywork. The record shows a history of perishing tyres in 2020 and split CV boots in 2018. Given the reported dents and scratches on the near side rear quarter panel from 2018, a physical inspection of the bodywork is necessary to check for any subsequent corrosion or poor repair quality in those areas.
