This 2006 Renault Megane Scenic Diesel Estate 1.5 dCi 106 Expression 5dr [Euro 4] is offered to you directly from Hitachi Capital Vehicle Solutions who are the original owners from new.
This car has covered 70550 miles from new. The full HPI check showed no record of any major accidents, as can be seen (for free) on the clear HPI report. This car also comes with a history, and a valid V5 document. An independent RAC Body and Mechanical inspection has been conducted, for which the full details can be accessed from the RAC report beneath the photos.
The Renault Scenic is a people carrier that manages to blend style and practicality together in one neat package. It's clever interior is its biggest asset and makes it an ideal family choice. There's generous room for passengers in the back, plenty of useful cubbyholes dotted around and some excellent safety features. The best choice for economy is the excellent 1.5dCi which will average around 55mpg. It's available in two outputs of either 86bhp or 106bhp – this car has the more powerful unit. Like most people carriers, the Scenic isn't particularly exciting to drive but it's safe and reassuring - and makes an ideal long distance vehicle. Body roll is fairly well kept in check, especially considering the height, plus grip is good. It rides well, the light steering makes parking straightforward and the large windows aid visibility.
Thanks to good ride quality the Scenic is comfortable and quiet - especially on the motorway, plus there's a surprising amount of room in the back with space for three passengers along with good legroom and ample shoulder space. The Scenic is one of the most practical people carriers around and has an abundance of stowage. Elsewhere there are underfloor cubbyholes in the front and back along with concealed storage under the door armrests. All three rear seats slide individually and can be folded and tumbled forward to increase boot space. It is easy to find a comfortable driving position in the Scenic and overall build quality is very good - most of the materials used are soft touch.
Expression models get driver, passenger and curtain airbags, keyless entry, immobiliser, deadlocking, electric front windows, remote central locking, digital display with trip computer, height adjustable driver’s seat, removable rear seats, electric/heated door mirrors and body coloured bumpers. This car has also got air conditioning and rear parking sensors.
Euro NCAP awarded the Scenic a maximum five-star crash-test safety rating and it comes with a long list of safety kit as standard including ABS with electronic brakeforce distribution (EBD), adaptive front airbags, front side thorax airbags built into the seats and curtain airbags to protect both front and outer rear seat passengers. Three-point Isofix child seat anchorage points are provided on the outer rear seats and on the front passenger seat.
