Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The Renault Kadjar presents a clean roadworthiness profile with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent MOT test on 29 November 2025 at 70,478 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Prior examinations on 30 November 2024 at 65,318 miles, 18 November 2023 at 59,330 miles, 3 August 2022 at 52,424 miles, and 19 March 2020 at 42,038 miles each delivered passes with no advisories. This uninterrupted sequence of clear results shows the vehicle has not developed any worsening mechanical or structural issues across the recorded lifespan. The mileage trace aligns with typical use for a 2016 model, averaging around 7,048 miles per year against the final 70,478 miles. From the March 2020 test at 42,038 miles to the August 2022 test at 52,424 miles the car added 10,386 miles over twenty-nine months, a low accumulation hinting at restricted use or a static period. Annual increments then settled: 6,906 miles to November 2023, 5,988 to November 2024, and 5,160 to November 2025. The DVSA file is thin before 2022 yet shows no gaps in compliance thereafter, and the absence of tyre tread or wiper blade failures suggests basic upkeep was not neglected. No recurring faults or structural warnings appear in the history, so the buyer inherits no documented patterns of suspension bushes degradation, coil spring fracture, binding calipers, or corrosion. A buyer should still physically verify underside structural integrity and examine brake discs for age-related wear not yet flagged. The tester noted no exhaust emissions irregularities, but an independent emissions scan remains prudent on a ten-year-old diesel. The streak of unadorned passes implies previous keepers presented the car in test-ready condition, likely servicing consumables before each deadline. A short pre-purchase road test must confirm clutch bite and turbo response, as these areas fall outside MOT scope yet affect ownership on a regularly driven diesel.

Our Verdict

Recommended for its clean MOT history and low mileage, but buyers should be cautious due to the lack of model-specific reliability data.

Prioritise verifying the service history to confirm regular maintenance, particularly for diesel components like the DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) and EGR valve, which are common trouble spots in Renaults. Check for any unrecorded accident history via the VIN. Negotiate based on the low mileage, but be wary of potential hidden issues given the absence of model-specific reliability trends. Insist on a pre-purchase inspection by an independent mechanic familiar with Renaults.

Diesel fuel economy is moderate for this class, with estimated combined consumption of 50-55 mpg. Tax band is £140 annually (2023-2026 rules for CO2 emissions of 139g/km). Insurance groups for similar Renault models typically range from 15-20, affecting annual premiums. Maintenance costs are average for a 10-year-old diesel, though DPF-related repairs could be costly if needed. Estimated annual running costs: £1,000-£1,200.

Focus on the diesel engine's health, checking for oil leaks, excessive smoke, or warning lights. Inspect the DPF and EGR valve for clogging, common in older Renaults. Review the service book for oil change intervals and filter replacements. Check the suspension and steering for wear, as these can degrade over time. Verify the VIN-specific details (red colour, 1.461cc engine) match the vehicle to avoid mismatches.

This 2016 Renault Kadjar has a clean MOT history with no defects recorded across five consecutive annual tests, covering 70,478 miles. The mileage is below average for a 10-year-old vehicle, and the diesel engine variant (1.461cc DCI) is generally reliable. However, no aggregate reliability data is available for this specific trim, limiting insights into potential model-specific issues.

No aggregate MOT data is available for the RENAULT KADJAR DYNAMIQUE S NAV DCI A model, limiting insights into its overall reliability trends.
