2014 Renault Kangoo 1.5L Diesel · CX14 ADV

The 2014 Renault Kangoo presents a mixed maintenance record, with recent MOT tests showing inconsistent outcomes despite no defects being recorded. The most recent April 2025 test at 133,662 miles resulted in a pass, but this followed a failure at 133,659 miles just three days earlier. This suggests either a procedural error or a minor issue resolved rapidly, though the lack of defect details limits definitive analysis. Earlier tests in 2024 and 2017 also passed without recorded faults, indicating no systemic mechanical failures. However, the proximity of the last MOT to the current date (July 2026) raises concerns about the vehicle’s ongoing roadworthiness, as no subsequent tests have been conducted. The mileage progression shows a steady increase from 52,765 miles in 2017 to 128,625 miles in 2024, averaging 11,138 miles annually—a typical rate for its age. A significant gap between the 2024 test (128,625 miles) and the 2025 test (133,662 miles) reveals a 5,037-mile jump over just one year, which may indicate active use. However, the minimal 12-mile increment between the 2025 failure and pass suggests potential inactivity or storage, which could accelerate corrosion or component degradation. The sparse defect data across all tests limits insight into long-term wear patterns, though no critical issues were flagged. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the suspension system, particularly suspension bushes and coil springs, given the vehicle’s age and mileage. Brake components, including calipers and discs, warrant scrutiny, as repeated MOTs without defects may mask latent issues. Structural integrity should also be assessed, as prolonged inactivity could lead to rust in underbody areas. While the latest MOT confirms roadworthiness, the absence of recent testing and the abrupt mileage jumps highlight the need for a thorough pre-purchase inspection to verify mechanical soundness.
