Our Verdict
This 2020 Renault Kadjar in black with the 1.3-litre petrol engine is a reasonable buy for a low-mileage family SUV, but the repeated MOT failures in 2024 and 2025 show some neglect of basic maintenance. Budget for fresh tyres and wiper blades as part of your purchase negotiation.
When viewing JIG8088, ask for proof that the July 2025 failure items were properly repaired — the near and offside front tyres, both wiper blades and headlamp alignment should all have been corrected before the pass three days later. A full service history is important given the low mileage, as infrequent use can still lead to overdue fluids and filters; confirm the 1.3 TCe petrol engine has been serviced per Renault's schedule despite the low miles.
The 1,332cc petrol engine in this Kadjar qualifies as Euro 6DG and should return reasonable fuel economy for a compact SUV, though exact figures are not in the provided data. Insurance and road tax will reflect its 2020 registration and mainstream positioning, with no aggregate cost data supplied for the model.
Check the front tyres closely even though the July 2025 failure was cleared — the offside front had a structural tear and the near side was cracking, so confirm the replacements are sound and evenly worn at 23,696 miles. Verify both windscreen wipers clear effectively and that headlamp aim is correct, as all were flagged as failures in July 2025.
The vehicle has covered just 23,696 miles in nearly six years, which is well below typical annual averages for a 2020-registered car. Its MOT history shows two failures — one in July 2024 for an inoperative tyre pressure monitoring system and one in July 2025 for tyre damage, ineffective wipers and low headlamp aim — but all issues were addressed and recent tests in 2025 and 2026 passed with no defects. No aggregate reliability data is available for the Kadjar, so assessment rests on this individual history.
No aggregate MOT reliability data is available for the Renault Kadjar, so this assessment relies solely on the individual history of JIG8088.
