Buying Tips for the 2015–2018 Renault Kadjar

- ✓On EDC cars, do plenty of low-speed driving and parking manoeuvres because that is where hesitation shows up
- ✓Test the R-Link screen, camera and parking sensors because electrical niggles are common enough to be worth catching early
- ✓Check the MOT history for repeated front suspension, brake or tyre-wear advisories
