Tyres — 38.3% of failures
Tyres issues account for 38.3% of MOT failures on the Renault Gd Scenic Dy-que T-tom Dci S/s.

Ensure all tyres match the recommended size and load rating.
Brakes — 37.6% of failures
Brakes issues account for 37.6% of MOT failures on the Renault Gd Scenic Dy-que T-tom Dci S/s. Brake-related failures include worn brake pads, corroded brake discs, leaking brake lines, and faulty brake servos. These are safety-critical components — any brake deficiency will result in an MOT fail. Typical repair costs: £150–400. Pre-MOT check: Listen for squealing or grinding noises. Check brake pedal feel — if it feels spongy or goes to the floor, have the system inspected immediately. Look at brake pad thickness through the wheel spokes (minimum 3mm).
Suspension — 30.1% of failures
Suspension issues account for 30.1% of MOT failures on the Renault Gd Scenic Dy-que T-tom Dci S/s. Suspension failures typically involve worn bushes, leaking shock absorbers, broken coil springs, and damaged suspension arms. These affect ride quality, tyre wear, and road holding. Typical repair costs: £200–500. Pre-MOT check: Look for uneven tyre wear, listen for clunking over bumps, and check if the car pulls to one side. A bouncy ride suggests worn shock absorbers. Visually inspect coil springs for cracks.
