2007 Renault Scenic Dyn DCI 106

CarHunch analysed 112 real MOT records for the 2007 Renault Scenic Dyn DCI 106. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

This 2007 Renault Scenic DCI is a real reliability concern—only 62% pass first time against the UK average of 80%, meaning nearly 4 in 10 fail their MOT. The good news is that dangerous defects are completely absent from this cohort, so you're not looking at safety-critical failures, just wear and tear issues that need fixing.

At 113,000 miles median, these vehicles are well-used, and the 0.88 average failures per car tells you most will need some work when they test. Before buying one, get a thorough pre-purchase inspection focused on the common failure points (likely suspension, emissions, and braking given this generation's history), and factor in repair costs as a genuine ownership expense rather than an exception.

What to check before buying a 2007 Renault Scenic Dyn DCI 106

Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.

  • 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
  • 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
  • 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
  • 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
