United Kingdom figures from DfT table VEH0220 (licensed cars at the end of each year, SORN excluded), so they differ slightly from the Great Britain counts elsewhere on this page. This covers cars DVLA records under this version’s name only; the Renault Scenic page covers every version. How we use engine sizes.

Renault Scenic MOT reliability

In 2025, 55.9% of Renault Scenic MOT tests were passed first time, against 72.8% for all cars. Cars of the same ages pass 64.6% of the time, so the Renault Scenic does worse than average for its age, by 8.7 points.

DVSA's MOT results name the model, not the version, so these figures cover all Renault Scenics tested, the Extreme among them. For the full breakdown, including defects in detail and results year by year, see the Renault Scenic page.

  • Figures cover Great Britain (England, Scotland and Wales). Northern Ireland is not included.
  • Licensed counts are vehicles with a current tax or exemption at the end of each year (or the latest quarter). SORN counts are shown separately, from 2007.
  • This version groups DVLA’s detailed model names “SCENIC EXTREME VVT 111”, “SCENIC EXTREME VVT”, “SCENIC EXTREME DCI 86”, “SCENIC EXTREME 16V 100”, “SCENIC EXTREME DCI”, “SCENIC EXTREME DCI 110”. Engine size, gearbox, number of doors and fuel are ignored, so every engine and gearbox counts together.
  • Survival compares the number still registered (licensed or SORN) with the number first registered since 2001. Other versions are those of the same model with the same average year of first registration.
  • First registrations count vehicles registered in Great Britain for the first time, including used imports.
