2017 Renault Kadjar 1.2L Petrol · H4 KMR

The vehicle presents a mixed maintenance profile, showing a recent trend of worsening consumable condition despite passing its most recent test on 30 April 2026 at 44,511 miles. While the vehicle remains roadworthy, the April 2026 test flagged multiple issues including cracking or perishing tread on both rear tyres and a distorted inner bead on the nearside front road wheel. This follows a failed test in May 2025 at 36,675 miles, where the vehicle failed on headlamp aim and front tyre wear before subsequently passing. The recurring nature of tyre-related advisories and failures suggests a pattern of deferred maintenance regarding consumables. The mileage accumulation is notably low for a 2017 model, averaging approximately 4,946 miles per year. The record shows steady, incremental growth from 9,738 miles in July 2020 to the current 44,511 miles. A significant jump occurred between May 2025 and April 2026, where the vehicle covered 7,836 miles in less than a year, nearly doubling its previous annual average. This shift in usage patterns may explain why the recent MOT highlighted more frequent wear and damage to the tyres and wheels compared to the clean records seen between 2020 and 2024. A prospective buyer should focus heavily on the condition of the tyres and wheels during a physical inspection. The history of bald inner edges and perishing tread indicates potential underlying issues with wheel alignment or suspension geometry. The distorted nearside front rim noted in April 2026 warrants a close check for impact damage that could affect steering or cause vibration. Given the low overall mileage and the recent increase in usage, checking the condition of suspension bushes and steering components is advisable to ensure the vehicle has not suffered from poor alignment or impact-related wear.
