2011 Renault Scenic 1.5L Diesel · YK11 SLU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 10 April 2026 at 67,152 miles. The maintenance trend is inconsistent, characterized by a pattern of failing on basic safety items before immediate rectification. The most recent test flagged a missing road wheel fixing and wear in the brake pedal pivot, suggesting a lack of pre-test inspection. The mileage is exceptionally low for a 15 year old vehicle, averaging roughly 4,477 miles per year. Usage has remained steady over the last few years, increasing from 40,742 miles in July 2022 to 67,152 miles by April 2026. This low-mileage profile often indicates a vehicle that has spent significant time stationary, which correlates with the rubber perishing and corrosion issues noted in the history. A buyer should prioritize a thorough inspection of the braking system and chassis. The July 2023 test at 49,703 miles revealed corrosion on both nearside and offside rear brake pipes, alongside worn front brakes. While these were cleared for the pass, the presence of corrosion on a low-mileage car suggests a vulnerability to rust that requires verification. The July 2021 test also noted pitted rear brake discs and thin pads, indicating a slow but steady degradation of the braking components. Attention must be paid to the tyres and suspension. The record shows a recurring failure to maintain tyre tread and integrity, with perishing noted in July 2022 and a structural bulge flagged in July 2023. The July 2023 failure also identified play in the offside front anti-roll bar linkage. Given the history of neglected consumables and the recent brake pedal pivot wear, the vehicle appears to have been maintained reactively rather than preventatively.
