2004 Renault Kangoo 1.6L Petrol · LG04 AUA

The 2025‑11‑13 MOT at 75,247 miles passed the vehicle, but the record shows a persistent pattern of minor but repeated faults. Recent tests flag worn Macpherson strut pins, slight corrosion on rear brake hoses, noisy wheel bearings, and a corroded rear brake pipe. While the 2025 test shows the vehicle is road‑worthy, the recurrence of these issues suggests a stable trend of wear that has not yet resolved, though it has not worsened in the last year. The mileage record is remarkably regular. From 2004 to 2026 the vehicle has logged 75,247 miles, an average of about 3,420 miles per year, well below the expected wear for a vehicle of its age. Annual MOT dates show no large gaps or sudden mileage jumps; the only noticeable increase is the 7,000‑mile rise between 2024‑11‑26 (68,248 miles) and 2025‑11‑13 (75,247 miles). This steady accumulation indicates consistent use rather than long periods of inactivity, which would otherwise explain the low mileage. A buyer should focus on the components that appear repeatedly in the record. Inspect the front Macpherson strut bush and pin for wear or play, check the rear brake hoses for corrosion at the ferrules, and test the rear brake pipe for leaks or grease contamination. Verify that the wheel bearings are quiet and that the brake discs are free of excessive pitting. Examine the spare tyre for defects, as it has failed on several occasions. Check the power steering hose for seepage, the wiper blades for effectiveness, and the central stop lamps for operation. Finally, look for corrosion on the anti‑roll bar and the exhaust rubbers, as these have split or corroded in past tests. In summary, the vehicle remains road‑worthy as of the latest MOT, but the recurring faults point to ongoing wear that a prospective buyer should verify in person. A thorough inspection of the suspension, braking system, and associated hoses, along with a check of the spare tyre and lighting, will confirm whether the maintenance trend is genuinely improving or simply stable.
