Does high mileage mean more Renault Scenic MOT failures at the same age?

At ages 10–14, 29.9% of Renault Scenics with under 40,000 miles failed first time, against 52.2% of those with over 140,000 miles (2024, n = 2,072). Inside this age group, higher mileage goes with more failures.

If a Renault Scenic fails, does it fail again?

44.4% of Renault Scenics that failed an MOT failed the next one too, against 37.1% after a pass (2019–2024, n = 27,009). The failure most likely to come back is ‘lamps, reflectors and electrical equipment’: 40.6% of those fails recurred at the next MOT.

What does a Renault Scenic cost to run in a fleet?

Of every 100 Renault Scenics tested at age 5, about 18 failed the MOT first time (rough estimate); at age 10, about 42. These are one-year rates for different cars tested in the same year, not a fleet followed over time; the steepest one-year step in this cross-section is between cars aged 9 and 10, 8.77 percentage points (2024).

Does the Renault Scenic fail inspections in other countries too?

In the Netherlands, 58.2% of Renault Scenics failed their periodic roadworthiness inspection, against 50.8% for all cars there (2024 by country, n = 39,958 inspections).

Inspections abroad point the same way: in Norway, Finland and the Netherlands the Renault Scenic also fails more often than the national average.

Renault Scenic MOT: quick answers

What is the Renault Scenic first-time MOT pass rate?

55.7% of first attempts passed in 2024 (40,449 tests). Retests after repair are excluded; cars fixed at the test centre (PRS) are shown separately.

Why does this number differ from other sites?

Other sites may count retests or all attempts. This page uses 40,449 primary tests: 44.27% failed first time and 63.0% passed when cars fixed at the test centre (PRS) count as passes. The age-adjusted MOT Risk Index 122.1 is shown separately.
