RENAULT KADJAR2016 · 1.5L DIESEL

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a clear shift towards developing wear-and-tear defects. The most recent test in February 2026 at 43,897 miles flagged multiple issues including thin rear brake pads and worn bushes on both the nearside and offside front lower suspension arms. While these did not result in a failure, they indicate that the vehicle's underbody components and braking system are now reaching the end of their service life. The mileage profile is notably low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,400 miles per year. The data shows consistent low-usage patterns, with the car covering only 3,646 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests, and another 3,646 miles in the year following that. This low mileage generally suggests less strain on the engine and drivetrain, though the long periods of stationary time can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components and brake corrosion due to lack of heat cycling and movement. A buyer should prioritize a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension geometry. The recurring mention of worn arm bushes in the 2026 record suggests that the rubber material may be perishing from age rather than just mileage, which can affect steering precision and cause tyre wear. Furthermore, the braking system requires immediate attention as the history shows thin pads in both 2024 and 2026, indicating a pattern of neglected routine consumable replacements. You should check the brake discs for pitting or corrosion, which is common on low-mileage vehicles that sit for extended periods.
