2017 Renault Kangoo Business ML20 I Z.e. Electricity · R15 PAR

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2024-05-17 at 9,535 miles showed a pass with no defects, but a prior failure on 2024-04-17 at 9,520 miles—just one month earlier—remains unexplained due to no recorded defects. This abrupt shift from failure to pass suggests potential technical anomalies or administrative errors, though no specific issues were flagged. The absence of recorded defects in earlier tests from 2023 and 2021 indicates a stable maintenance history up to that point, but the recent inconsistency warrants closer scrutiny of the vehicle’s systems. The recorded mileage of 9,535 miles over nine years equates to approximately 1,059 miles annually, significantly below average for a vehicle of this age. This low usage could imply infrequent operation or prolonged periods of inactivity, which may affect components like the battery, brakes, and suspension. Notably, the gap between the 2021 test (5,796 miles) and 2023 test (8,484 miles) spans two years with a 2,688-mile increase, suggesting irregular usage patterns. The sparse MOT record lacks detailed defect data, limiting definitive conclusions about mechanical wear. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the braking system, as low mileage can mask hidden issues like seized calipers or corroded discs. Suspension components, including bushes and coil springs, may also require scrutiny due to potential inactivity-related degradation. Structural integrity should be verified, as low-mileage vehicles are not immune to rust or corrosion, particularly in coastal or high-humidity areas. The absence of recorded defects does not eliminate risks, and a pre-purchase inspection by a qualified mechanic is strongly advised to confirm the vehicle’s condition.
