2002 Renault Kangoo 1.5L Diesel · GF52 AVE

The 2002 Renault Kangoo presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on its most recent MOT test on 2025-12-06 at 116,236 miles, which recorded a pass with no defects. However, the same date shows a conflicting failure entry with no defects noted, raising questions about the accuracy of the record. Subsequent tests from 2022 to 2024 also show passes with no issues, indicating consistent compliance. The absence of critical faults in these tests suggests the vehicle has been maintained to meet legal standards, though the lack of detailed defect reporting limits deeper analysis. The vehicle’s mileage of 116,236 miles over 24 years equates to an average of 4,843 miles annually, significantly below the typical usage for its age. This low mileage could imply infrequent use or prolonged periods of inactivity, which may lead to component degradation not captured in MOT results. The MOT history shows regular testing intervals, with the most recent test occurring 7 months prior to 2026-07-21. Gaps between tests, such as the 13-month span between 2022-10-07 (103,960 miles) and 2023-10-21 (110,814 miles), suggest variable usage patterns, but no rapid mileage spikes that might indicate excessive wear. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the vehicle’s structural integrity, as age and low mileage may mask corrosion in hidden areas like underbody panels or chassis joints. Suspension components, including coil springs and bushes, warrant scrutiny due to potential stiffness from inactivity. Brake systems, particularly calipers and discs, should be checked for binding or uneven wear, as these issues may not trigger MOT failures. The absence of recorded tyre or exhaust defects does not eliminate the need for a thorough visual and operational check, given the vehicle’s age and usage profile.
