2020 Renault Kangoo LL21 Bness + Energy DCI 1.5L Diesel · MA70 ADX

A pattern of intermittent component failures and tyre wear advisories defines the mechanical history of this Renault Kangoo, culminating in a clean pass on 30 October 2025. While the most recent test recorded no defects, the preceding years show a trend of failures related to lighting and visibility, specifically a failed nearside stop lamp in 2025 and windscreen wiper issues in 2023. The record also displays recurring advisories concerning tyre tread depth and edge wear, which suggests that while the vehicle is being brought to a passing standard, certain consumable items have reached the limits of their service life between inspection intervals. The vehicle has covered 55,604 miles over approximately six years, representing an average annual accumulation of roughly 9,267 miles. This usage profile is consistent with typical light-to-medium duty cycles for a small commercial vehicle of this age. Mechanically, this level of mileage suggests that components such as suspension bushes, brake discs, and drivetrain elements are unlikely to have undergone extreme high-mileage stress, but they will have experienced regular wear consistent with standard road use. The steady mileage accumulation indicates the vehicle has likely been in regular service rather than sitting stationary for extended periods. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the tyre condition and alignment, given the repeated advisories for tyres being worn close to the legal limit or worn on the edges in 2023 and 2024. During a test drive, it is essential to monitor for any steering pull to either side or vibrations through the steering wheel, which could indicate uneven tyre wear caused by incorrect wheel alignment or worn suspension components. Furthermore, the previous major failure regarding windscreen wiper effectiveness suggests that any replacement blades should be checked for smooth, consistent movement across the glass without streaking or skipping. The history of lighting and visibility failures, including the 2025 stop lamp failure, necessitates a thorough check of all external electrical connections and bulb integrity. While the most recent pass was clean, ensure all indicator, brake, and tail lights function correctly without flickering. Given the history of tyre edge wear, a physical inspection of the suspension linkages and steering geometry is advised to ensure that the wear is not being driven by mechanical play in the steering rack or worn ball joints, which would manifest as knocks or clunks when navigating uneven road surfaces or speed bumps.
