RENAULT KADJAR2018 · 1.2L Petrol

The 2018 Renault Kadjar with 92,039 miles shows a stable roadworthiness trend based on its most recent MOT, which passed on 2025-05-22 without defects. However, the vehicle’s history includes two consecutive failures in 2025 and 2023, both recorded without specific defect details. While the latest test confirms compliance, the absence of recorded issues in prior failures raises questions about the consistency of inspections or potential unresolved concerns. The lack of mechanical or structural advisories in the most recent report suggests the vehicle is currently fit for use, but the pattern of unexplained failures warrants closer scrutiny. The mileage progression aligns with typical annual usage, averaging 11,505 miles per year over eight years. The 2024-05-20 test at 80,825 miles and 2023-05-23 test at 64,719 miles indicate steady, predictable wear. No significant gaps or spikes in mileage are evident, suggesting consistent operation rather than prolonged inactivity. The absence of consumable-related defects (e.g., tyres, wipers) in the latest report implies routine maintenance, though the lack of detailed failure records for earlier tests limits a full assessment of underlying issues. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, as these are common wear points in older SUVs. The brake system, including calipers and discs, should be checked for binding or uneven wear, particularly given the history of unexplained failures. Structural corrosion, especially in the underbody or chassis, merits attention, as well as the exhaust system for leaks or excessive emissions. While the MOT records do not flag these components, the vehicle’s age and mileage justify a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm the absence of hidden defects.
