2013 Renault Scenic 1.5L Diesel · YC13 RYB

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT following a pass on 20 November 2025 at 127,370 miles. The maintenance history shows a pattern of reactive repairs rather than proactive upkeep, with the vehicle frequently failing tests due to worn components. While the most recent result shows no defects, the failure just days prior on 17 November 2025 at 127,360 miles indicates that the vehicle required immediate attention to a split offside outer CV boot, a nearside track rod end with excessive play, and low brake pads and tyre tread. The trend suggests that mechanical issues are addressed only when they reach the point of failure. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a vehicle of its age, averaging roughly 9,800 miles per year. The record shows steady usage, with the mileage increasing from 31,324 in April 2017 to 127,370 in November 2025. There are no significant gaps in usage, though the intervals between tests show typical annual patterns. The steady climb in mileage suggests regular road use, which contributes to the wear seen in the suspension and braking systems over time. A prospective buyer should focus heavily on the suspension and drivetrain components, as these show recurring issues. The record flags multiple failures involving CV boots, track rod ends, and suspension arm ball joints across several years, specifically in 2017, 2022, 2023, and 2024. The repeated presence of worn ball joints and CV boots suggests the steering and suspension geometry may require close scrutiny. Additionally, the 2024 failure involving exhaust emissions and parking brake lever malfunction indicates that engine management and braking hardware have historically been problematic. The braking system also requires a thorough physical inspection. The tester noted binding brakes in 2023 and issues with the parking brake and brake lever movement in 2024. Given the history of low brake pads and worn tyres, a buyer must check the remaining life of all consumables and ensure that the recent repairs to the nearside front pads and tyres were comprehensive. Checking for any signs of fluid leaks or uneven tyre wear will help confirm if the recent suspension and braking repairs have fully resolved the underlying issues.
