2010 Renault Grand Scenic 1.9L Diesel · WG60 EZB

The most recent MOT on 2025-12-04 recorded a pass at 49,211 miles, but the same vehicle failed on 2025-12-03 with identical defects. This suggests unresolved issues, including corroded suspension components, worn tyres, and brake disc degradation. The nearside and offside front lower suspension arms showed consistent corrosion, while both front tyres were near legal limits or damaged. Shock absorbers on both rear wheels had corroded casings, and brake discs exhibited wear or scoring. Recurring defects span multiple MOTs since 2023, indicating a pattern of corrosion and gradual wear. Suspension arms, brake discs, and tyres have repeatedly been flagged, with some issues (e.g., corroded shock absorbers) appearing in both pass and fail results. The offside rear brake pipe failure in 2025-12-03 highlights potential brake system vulnerabilities, though this was later resolved. The vehicle’s low mileage (3,076 miles annually) suggests infrequent use, which may contribute to corrosion from moisture or inactivity rather than mechanical wear. The condition trend appears stable, with no significant escalation in defect severity. However, the persistence of identical issues across MOTs implies incomplete repairs or ongoing exposure to environmental factors.
