RENAULT KANGOO2020 · Electric

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, with the most recent MOT in July 2025 confirming no defects at 4,035 miles. However, the maintenance trend reveals recurring tyre degradation, with perishing tread cracks consistently recorded from October 2023 onwards. Despite these issues being addressed by August 2024, the lack of subsequent tyre replacements or repairs suggests ongoing neglect of consumable components. No structural or mechanical failures were noted in the latest test, but the pattern of minor defects indicates a lack of proactive maintenance. The vehicle’s mileage of 4,035 miles over six years equates to an average of 672 miles annually, significantly below typical usage for its age. This low mileage, combined with a two-year gap between the October 2023 and August 2024 MOTs, raises concerns about prolonged inactivity. The absence of wear-related issues like brake disc corrosion or suspension bush failure may reflect limited use, but it also increases the risk of rubber and seal degradation. The 2023 MOT recorded four tyres with perishing tread, a defect that persisted through 2024 before vanishing in 2025, suggesting potential replacement or temporary mitigation. A buyer should inspect the tyres for dry rot, particularly around the sidewalls, and verify if they have been fully replaced. The 2023 wiper failures, though unresolved in the record, warrant checking for functional clarity and water drainage. Given the low mileage, the exhaust system and underbody corrosion should be scrutinized, as stagnant vehicles are prone to rust in hidden areas. The suspension components, including coil springs and bushes, should also be assessed for age-related stiffness or cracking, as prolonged inactivity can mask or exacerbate these issues.
