2016 RENAULT KADJAR1.6L Diesel

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status despite its high mileage. The most recent MOT test conducted on 16 December 2025 at 143,661 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following a failure just one day prior. This rapid fail-pass sequence suggests an administrative error or a minor rectified issue was addressed immediately, indicating that the vehicle currently meets all statutory safety and emissions standards without requiring further mechanical intervention. The mileage profile reflects high-intensity use for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 14,300 miles annually. Between December 2022 and December 2024, the car covered 5,705 miles, showing a consistent but heavy usage pattern. The jump of 3,791 miles between the December 2024 and December 2025 tests indicates the vehicle remains in regular, daily service. This high level of consistent accumulation places significant long-term stress on the drivetrain, suspension bushings, and braking system components compared to lower-mileage examples. Given the lack of recorded advisories in the recent MOT history, a physical inspection should focus on components susceptible to high-mileage fatigue. A buyer must examine the front suspension arms and ball joints for signs of rubber tearing, as these often perish after 140,000 miles. Check the brake discs and calipers for uneven wear or heat spotting, as the consistent mileage suggests heavy use on friction materials. While the MOT record is clean, the structural integrity of the underbody should be verified for corrosion to ensure the high-mileage environment has not compromised the chassis.
