Mechanical Assessment
The 2016 Renault Kadjar remains roadworthy based on its most recent MOT, which passed on 2025-07-31 at 76,690 miles. However, the preceding test on 2025-07-30 recorded a failure despite no defects being listed, suggesting a potential administrative error or minor non-compliance resolved between tests. The absence of recorded defects in the last three MOTs (2024-08-01 to 2025-07-31) indicates a stable maintenance trend, with no critical issues flagged. This implies the vehicle has been consistently maintained to meet legal standards, though the failure entry warrants scrutiny to confirm whether it was a technicality or an unrecorded repair. The mileage progression shows a gradual increase, with 60,826 miles in 2023 rising to 76,690 by 2025. Notably, the jump from 67,703 miles (2024-08-01) to 76,630 miles (2025-07-30) reflects a 8,927-mile accumulation in 11 months, exceeding the average annual rate. This rapid growth could accelerate wear on components like brake discs, suspension bushes, and exhaust systems. The MOT history lacks gaps, indicating regular testing, but the sparse data—no advisories or minor defects recorded—limits insight into gradual deterioration. A buyer should inspect the suspension for worn coil springs or bushings, given the high mileage, and check brake discs for uneven wear or corrosion. The exhaust system merits attention, as higher mileage increases the risk of leaks or rust. Structural integrity should be verified, particularly under the chassis, to rule out hidden corrosion. While the MOT record shows no immediate risks, the vehicle’s age and usage pattern necessitate a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm its mechanical condition aligns with the documented maintenance history.
