Depreciation recap for the 2012 Scénic

Depreciation history is key when researching a used Renault Scénic price. The following estimates are based on established autoparticipant databases, longitudinal sales data, and historical economics of the whole MPV segment.

  • First‑year loss: typically loses 15‑20 % of its value upfront, mainly driven by the quick discount that new vehicles jump into the second‑hand market.
  • Year 2‑3 depreciation: around 10 % per year, as the model passes the “new‑to‑used” point.
  • Year 4‑5: roughly 7‑8 % decline each year. After five years, a 2012 Scénic’s book value sits at about 55‑60 % of the original sticker price.
  • After year 6: the vehicle may reach a stable depreciation at ~5 % per year, depending on mileage, condition, and evolving market demand for diesel MPVs.

These percentages mean that a 2012 Scénic priced at €11 000 new could be worth around €5 800–€6 500 in a competitive used‑car marketplace—given average mileage between 30,000–50,000 km and typical low‑wear interiors.
