2016 RENAULT KADJAR1.5L Diesel

The Renault Kadjar presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 13 January 2026 at 54,586 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and every annual examination since May 2022 has done the same. The vehicle shows no advisories or failures across the five-year DVSA history supplied, indicating consistent compliance with UK roadworthiness standards. Recorded mileage sits at 54,586 against a 2016 registration, equating to roughly 5,459 miles per year. The test on 16 May 2025 logged 52,115 miles and the 29 May 2024 entry showed 43,741, so the car covered about 8,400 miles in the year to mid-2025 then only 2,471 miles by the January 2026 test. Such low and slowing use suggests extended standing periods, which can allow corrosion or perished rubber components to develop unseen despite clean MOT outcomes. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle's age and intermittent lay-up. Standing time promotes tyre sidewall cracking and seized handbrake mechanisms even when testers record no fault. Examine underside structural integrity for early rust and confirm coolant and brake fluid history, as low mileage rarely reflects scheduled fluid changes. The absence of recorded advisories means no recurring mechanical fault pattern exists in the data. Previous keepers appear to have maintained statutory test compliance, though the sparse defect list offers no insight into consumable renewal discipline between tests. Pre-purchase checks should prioritise items the MOT cannot capture on a briefly driven example.
