2012 Renault Kangoo 1.5L Diesel · B985 COX

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent pass rate over the last five years. The most recent test on 6 March 2026 at 219,387 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This trend of zero-defect passes extends back to April 2022, suggesting a high standard of preventative maintenance that has kept the vehicle compliant with DVSA standards despite its age. The mileage is high for a 2012 model, averaging roughly 15,670 miles per year. The accumulation has remained steady and linear, with 7,639 miles added between March 2025 and March 2026, and 7,994 miles added between March 2024 and March 2025. Such consistent usage typically indicates the vehicle has been used as a reliable workhorse rather than sitting idle, which often helps prevent seals from perishing and brakes from seizing. While the MOT record is exceptionally clean, the high mileage of 219,387 miles necessitates a targeted physical inspection of high-wear components. A buyer should specifically examine the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers for fatigue, as these are prone to degradation at this mileage regardless of MOT outcomes. Checking for any signs of structural corrosion on the chassis and sills is also advisable given the vehicle's age. The absence of recurring advisories regarding brake discs or binding calipers is positive, but the drivetrain and clutch should be tested for slip or excessive play. Given the lack of flagged defects over five years, the previous owner appears to have addressed wear-and-tear items before they reached the threshold of an MOT failure.
