2018 Renault Kadjar 1.5L Diesel · FY18 AHO

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status following a clean pass on March 12, 2026 at 60,839 miles. While the most recent inspection showed no defects, the history indicates a pattern of reactive maintenance where faults were addressed only immediately prior to failure. The failures in March 2024 and March 2025 suggest that previous owners overlooked specific issues until they required legal rectification, though the vehicle has consistently returned to a passing standard in the subsequent retests. The mileage profile is consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,600 miles per year. Between March 2024 and March 2025, the car covered 5,317 miles, while the interval between March 2025 and March 2026 saw a slight increase to 6,201 miles. This low annual suggests light use which typically limits wear on the drivetrain and suspension components but can sometimes lead to brake corrosion or tyre flat if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer should focus specifically on the components that caused the failures in 2024 and 2025, as the record provided does not specify the exact mechanical faults. Given the recurring nature of these failures, a physical inspection of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake system is necessary to ensure the repairs were comprehensive rather than temporary fixes. The low mileage also warrants checking for signs of rubber degradation or surface rust on the underbody, as low-use vehicles often suffer from age-related decay rather than mechanical wear.
