2012 Renault Grand Scenic: petrol or diesel?

Petrol, diesel and hybrid versions go wrong in different ways, so each has its own figures from the MOTs these cars had during 2023–2025. Pick the one you’re looking at: the fuel is on the logbook and in the car’s MOT history.

Petrol 51% pass first time (all 2012 cars: 64%) Stands out: drive shaft (cv) joints 3.8×, anti-roll bar link joints 3.8×, brake lights 3.1× 677 MOTsSee the petrol guide › Diesel 50% pass first time (all 2012 cars: 64%) Stands out: track rod ends 4.1×, brake discs 1.7×, anti-roll bar link joints 3.9× 3,891 MOTsSee the diesel guide ›

Hybrid versions had too few MOTs for figures of their own, or weren’t sold.
