Renault Gscenic Privilege T-T MOT pass rate & common failures
Across 1 model years and 1,262 tests, the Renault Gscenic Privilege T-T passes its MOT 68.7% of the time. That is 7.2 percentage points worse than all cars of a similar age, which fail at 24.1%. Its most common failure areas are lighting & signalling, suspension and steering.
What the MOT record shows
No single area dominates — lighting & signalling (18.8%) and suspension (16.7%) are close, so failures are spread across several systems rather than one weak point.
At component level the recurring items are coil spring, track rod end and stop lamp — coil spring alone was recorded 152 times.
Mileage matters less than usual here: the Gscenic Privilege T-T fails 30.4% of the time in the 60-90k band and 31.1% at 150k+, a spread of only 0.7 points.
Advisories point at the next bill rather than this one: brakes was flagged on 33.9% of tests without failing them.

What to check before buying a Renault Gscenic Privilege T-T
- Lighting & signalling (18.8% of tests): Often a cheap bulb, but persistent issues can mean wiring or corrosion in the units. Typical repair: £10–£150.
- Suspension (16.7% of tests): Worn drop links, bushes, springs or shocks — listen for knocks over bumps and check for uneven tyre wear. Typical repair: £150–£450 per corner.
- Steering (8.7% of tests): Play, leaks or worn track rod ends — affects handling and is a safety item. Typical repair: £150–£500.
Repair costs are rough UK ballpark ranges to set expectations, not quotes — actual prices vary widely by car, parts and garage.
