2016 Renault Kadjar 1.5L Diesel · HV16 ACY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend indicates a shift toward reactive repairs rather than proactive upkeep. While the most recent test in June 2026 at 90,660 miles passed with no recorded defects regarding underbody or parts, this follows a period marked by failures. The November 2025 failure due to a failed dipped beam, an illegal offside front tyre, and a nearside track rod end was rectified before the subsequent pass, suggesting the owner only addresses specific mechanical issues once they trigger an MOT failure. At 90,660 miles over ten years, the Renault Kadjar averages approximately 9,000 miles per year, which is consistent with standard domestic usage for a decade-old vehicle. The record shows a clean history between 2019 and 2021, where no defects were noted across the first 54,000 miles. However, the frequency of recorded faults increased once the vehicle crossed the 70,000-mile mark in late 2023, reflecting the natural progression of wear and tear on rubber and suspension-related components. A buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension geometry. The history shows recurring issues with nearside front suspension arm bushes in 2023 and a nearside track rod end in 2025. These faults suggest the front-end components are reaching the end of their functional life. Additionally, the repeated mentions of uneven tyre wear in 2024 and 2025 indicate potential alignment issues or worn shock absorbers that should be verified to prevent further premature replacement of new tyres.
