RENAULT KANGOO2011 · 1.9L Diesel

The 2011 Renault Kangoo passed its most recent MOT on 14 March 2024 at 137,575 miles, leaving it roughly sixteen months out of test relative to today's date. The maintenance trend reads as broadly stable across the record, with four consecutive passes from January 2020 to March 2023 showing no defects at all. The final test introduced two advisories rather than failures, so the vehicle currently sits in a roadworthy but lightly flagged condition. Annual mileage averages close to 9,172 miles, which is typical for a fifteen-year-old van. The records show steady accumulation: 111,420 miles in January 2020, rising to 123,892 by March 2021, then 125,435 in March 2022 and 131,850 in March 2023. The jump between the 2020 and 2021 tests covers 12,472 miles in just over fourteen months, suggesting one longer interval rather than a standing period. No major gaps or sudden spikes appear beyond that, and the clean run of clear tests implies previous owners kept basic mechanical upkeep current until recently. The March 2024 tester flagged the nearside front tyre worn close to the legal limit on the edge and an offside rear brake pipe corroded yet coated in grease. Edge tyre wear at 137,575 miles points to normal consumable use, though it warrants a fresh tread check before purchase. The greased brake pipe corrosion is more telling: covering it in grease suggests a prior attempt to mask rather than repair, so a buyer should inspect both rear brake lines for pitting and weepage and confirm the calipers are not binding. Given the sparse fault history, the Kangoo shows no recurring structural or suspension defects across the five tests. A pre-purchase look under the sills, coil springs, and suspension bushes remains sensible at this age and mileage, but the MOT data alone does not evidence worsening mechanical risk.
