Our Verdict
Proceed with extreme caution or avoid unless priced very low. While a functional work van, the history of significant structural corrosion and recurring mechanical failures suggests this vehicle is nearing the end of its economical life.
AA thorough structural inspection is non-negotiable. The history repeatedly flags corrosion on the rear axle, front sub-frame, and lower suspension arms; even if currently marked as 'not seriously weakened', the progressive nature of rust here is a major concern. You should also check the steering rack, as 'play in inner joints' has been noted across multiple years, which may lead to an expensive replacement soon.
Review the service history meticulously for evidence of oil changes, as the 'not excessive' oil leak has been a recurring advisory since 2022. Ensure the timing belt has been replaced according to interval, as this is critical for the diesel engine at this high mileage. Negotiate aggressively based on the immediate need for rear shock absorbers, CV boots, and potential steering repairs.
The 1.5L dCi engine is generally economical for a commercial vehicle, likely achieving 35-45 mpg depending on load. Given its age and engine size, it typically falls into a mid-range tax band and insurance group, though insurance varies by driver profile.
Maintenance costs are expected to be higher than average due to the vehicle's age and the frequency of required suspension and brake work. Expect an annual running cost including fuel, tax, and maintenance to be approximately £1,200-£1,500.
Focus heavily on the undercarriage. Inspect the rear axle and front sub-frame for any signs of deep pitting or structural scaling that goes beyond the MOT advisories. Check the front lower suspension arms for cracks or heavy rust, as these have been flagged repeatedly in the history.
Examine the offside front CV boot, which was recently noted as severely deteriorated; if ignored, the joint will fail quickly. Also, test for steering noises and vibration to assess the reported play in the steering rack inner joints. Finally, check the engine bay for oil buildup to determine if the reported leak is a minor seep or a gasket failure.
This 2007 Renault Kangoo has covered significant mileage (159,358 miles) which is well above average for its age. The MOT history reveals a persistent pattern of structural rust, particularly on the axle, sub-frame, and suspension arms, alongside ongoing oil leaks and steering issues. While it has passed its recent tests, the advisories for corrosion and worn shock absorbers indicate a vehicle that requires constant maintenance to remain roadworthy.
The 1.5 dCi engine is generally robust if maintained, but early Kangoo models are prone to suspension wear and electrical issues.
