2016 Renault Kangoo 1.5L Diesel · YE16 ADX

The 2016 Renault Kangoo presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent DVSA test on 9 September 2025 at 222,891 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Prior tests in July 2024 at 202,109 miles and July 2023 at 187,156 miles also passed cleanly. The single failure on 12 July 2023 at 187,156 miles is anomalous: the record shows a fail with no defects listed, immediately followed by a pass on the same date at identical mileage, indicating an administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Mileage accumulation tracks at roughly 22,289 miles per year against a ten-year lifespan, a high figure that points to sustained commercial or delivery use. The odometer moved from 166,542 miles at the July 2022 test to 187,156 miles by July 2023, then to 202,109 miles in July 2024 and 222,891 miles by September 2025. Gaps between tests stay within standard twelve-month cycles. The sparse record shows no advisories across any entry, so wear on consumables and structure went either unflagged or remained within limits at each examination. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the 222,891-mile load and the van's likely hard urban cycle. High mileage of this order accelerates fatigue in steering joints and subframe corrosion even where testers logged nothing. The clean history offers no recurring fault pattern to chase, but the same-day fail and pass in July 2023 warrants a check of the VIN and test certificate to confirm no omitted defect. Given the absence of advisories across five years of testing, previous keepers appear to have maintained the Kangoo to pass standard rather than to a higher preventive schedule. Verify service records independently, as MOT passes alone do not confirm cambelt, clutch, or turbo condition on a high-mileage diesel drivetrain.
