2010 Renault Grand Scenic 1.5L Diesel · T1 OOM

The 2010 Renault Grand Scenic has maintained a clean MOT history since its most recent test on 2 March 2026, with no defects recorded at 101,289 miles. This indicates a stable roadworthiness trend over the past two years, though the record does include an unusual duplicate entry for March 2023—one marked as passed and another as failed at identical mileage—suggesting either a clerical error or a brief unresolved issue that was subsequently rectified. No advisories or recurring faults appear in the official history, which is a positive sign for structural integrity and major systems. However, the absence of defects does not preclude wear beyond MOT thresholds, particularly in areas like suspension bushes or coil springs, which are not routinely tested for minor degradation. The vehicle’s mileage progression of roughly 6,300 miles annually aligns with typical usage for its age, with no abrupt spikes or prolonged periods of inactivity. The most notable gap is between the 2023 and 2024 tests, where mileage increased by 7,509 miles in a year, yet no failures were recorded. This suggests the vehicle was either driven consistently or serviced proactively before each MOT. The lack of advisories or repeated failures also implies that previous owners did not neglect critical components like brake discs or binding calipers, which often appear as recurring issues in older Renaults. Still, the 2023 duplicate entry—despite being resolved—warries scrutiny of whether any underlying issues were overlooked. A prospective buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of suspension components, particularly the rear coil springs and bushes, as these are common points of wear in vehicles of this age and mileage. The absence of MOT advisories does not guarantee these are intact, and visible sagging or uneven tyre wear could indicate compromised suspension. Brake pads and discs should also be checked for uneven thickness or glazing, as the MOT tester did not flag any binding calipers or excessive noise. Structural corrosion, particularly around wheel arches and sills, is another critical area—older Renaults are prone to rust in these regions, which can compromise structural integrity. Finally, the exhaust system should be examined for leaks or excessive corrosion, as catalytic converters and mufflers often fail silently beyond MOT thresholds. Given the vehicle’s age, a pre-purchase inspection by a qualified mechanic is strongly advised to verify components not covered by the MOT.
