RENAULT KADJAR2019 · 1.3L PETROL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful test in October 2025, but the maintenance history reveals a clear trend of reactive rather than preventative care. The failure at 52,292 miles highlights a significant neglect of the braking system, with thin front and rear brake pads along with pitted and scored discs on all axles. While the car passed the retest one mile later at 52,293 miles, the nature of the initial failures suggests that the previous owner likely waited until components reached critical limits before performing repairs. The mileage pattern is consistent with a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,500 miles per year. Between October 2022 at 21,013 miles and October 2024 at 40,977 miles, the car covered roughly 20,000 miles, showing a steady usage profile. The jump of 11,316 miles recorded between the October 2024 and 2025 tests indicates a recent increase in annual mileage which correlates with the accelerated wear observed on the braking components noted in the October 2025 failure. A buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the braking assembly to ensure the recent replacements utilized high-quality parts and were fitted correctly. The recurring mention of worn discs in both 2023 and 2025 suggests the vehicle may be prone to brake corrosion or was subjected to harsh conditions. Additionally, the consistent advisories from 2022 and 2024 regarding uneven tyre wear and perishing rubber indicate a pattern where consumable items are frequently ignored until they fail a test. Checking the current condition of the suspension bushes and tyres is essential, as the history shows a lack of proactive attention to routine mechanical upkeep.
