The most common problems on the Renault G-scenic DYN-7 DCI 106 are position lamp(s) not working (85 recorded failures), tyre tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm (44), and registration plate lamp not working (35).

If you're buying one that's already approaching that window, the data suggests it has plenty of life left provided it's been maintained.

Before committing to a purchase, we recommend running a full vehicle history check on the specific car. This will reveal any outstanding finance, stolen markers, write-off history and mileage discrepancies that the seller may not disclose — and that the MOT data alone can't tell you.
