RENAULT KADJAR2016 · 1.6L DIESEL

The vehicle is in a roadworthy state, showing a stable maintenance trend following a period of concern. The most recent test conducted on 10 September 2025 at 68,198 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded, indicating that the mechanical issues identified in previous years were successfully addressed. Since the vehicle has maintained a clean record for three consecutive tests, the current mechanical condition appears to be meeting the minimum safety standards. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,820 miles per year. The data shows steady accumulation without unexplained gaps or spikes in usage, with 6,708 miles driven between the September 2023 and September 2024 tests, and another 6,863 miles since the 2024 test. This regular usage suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stagnation, which often leads to premature degradation of rubber components and brake fluid contamination. A buyer should still pay close attention to the front suspension assembly, as the failure in September 2023 at 54,627 miles involved a compromised offside front suspension arm ball joint dust cover and a structural tyre bulge. While these faults were rectified, a physical inspection should verify that there is no play in the ball joints or further tearing in the rubber boots. The 2022 note regarding rust on the inner edges of the front discs is common for low-mileage cars, but the buyer should check the current thickness and surface condition of the rotors to ensure they have not pitted excessively due to corrosion.
