2010 Renault Kangoo 1.5L Diesel · AF60 OKL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the history reveals a trend of reactive maintenance rather than preventative care. While it passed its latest test in February 2026 at 162,574 miles, this followed a failure just three days prior. The most recent inspection flagged multiple immediate issues including thin brake pads, worn tyres, and perished shock absorber bushes. The recurrence of suspension faults, such as worn ball joints and bushes noted across multiple years, suggests that components are only addressed once they approach failure or trigger an MOT failure. At 162,574 miles over 16 years, the vehicle averages approximately 10,000 miles per year, which is consistent with typical usage for a light commercial vehicle. The data shows consistent operation, with nearly 17,000 miles covered between February 2024 and February 2026. This steady mileage indicates the vehicle has not sat idle for long periods, but it has placed constant load on mechanical components, which explains the ongoing degradation of the braking system and suspension wear items noted in the records. A buyer must closely inspect the braking and suspension systems, as the record shows a persistent history of corroded brake pipes dating back to 2024. The tester noted corrosion across the rear axle and on front pipes, which poses a risk of future fluid leaks if the lines have not been treated or replaced. The front suspension also requires scrutiny, with ball joints, anti-roll bar bushes, and shock absorber bushes appearing as recurring failure points. Additionally, the report of a damaged windscreen and an insecure battery in the February 2026 test necessitates a physical check to ensure the mounting hardware is secure and the glass is free of further cracks.
