Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

This Renault Kangoo presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the available data. The most recent MOT on 8 September 2025 at 121,931 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects. This follows a consistent pattern over the last three years where the vehicle has passed its annual inspections without any noted advisories or mechanical failures. The mileage is typical for an 18 year old vehicle, averaging roughly 6,774 miles per year. The distance covered between the August 2023 test at 116,516 miles and the September 2025 test at 121,931 miles shows a steady usage pattern of approximately 5,400 miles annually. There are no erratic jumps in mileage or long periods of inactivity that would suggest neglect or hidden deterioration. The MOT record is unusually clean for a vehicle of this age, showing no recorded defects or advisories across multiple tests. While this suggests a well-maintained example, the lack of any flagged wear on consumables like brake discs, suspension bushes, or tyres is atypical for a 2008 model. A buyer should personally inspect the underbody for structural corrosion and check the condition of the coil springs, as these are common failure points for this chassis that may not have been explicitly detailed in these brief records. Verify the service history to ensure oil changes and timing belt intervals were adhered to, as the MOT record only confirms basic roadworthiness rather than comprehensive mechanical health. Focus on checking for any signs of oil leaks or clutch wear during a test drive to complement the clean DVSA history.
