2020 Renault Kadjar 1.3L Petrol · AF70 LCV

The vehicle remains roadworthy as of its most recent MOT on 2025-09-04, with no defects recorded at 77,419 miles. The maintenance trend is stable — all three recorded tests passed without issue, indicating consistent upkeep and no emerging mechanical or structural concerns. The absence of advisories or failures suggests the owner has addressed wear items promptly and maintained the vehicle to a standard that meets UK roadworthiness requirements. Mileage accumulation over the past six years totals 77,419 miles, averaging nearly 13,000 miles annually — a high rate for a 2020 model. The jump from 46,461 miles in August 2023 to 59,947 miles in September 2024 represents 13,486 miles in just 13 months, followed by another 17,472 miles to reach 77,419 by September 2025. This rapid climb implies heavy usage, likely involving frequent driving or long-distance travel, which accelerates wear on tyres, suspension components, brake pads, and drivetrain elements. The MOT record is clean and complete, with no gaps or missing tests, which supports the reliability of the mileage progression. Given the high annual mileage and the absence of any recorded defects, a buyer should inspect the suspension system closely — particularly the bushes and coil springs — as these are common wear points under sustained use. Brake components, including discs and calipers, should be checked for uneven wear or binding, especially since the rear brakes were flagged for binding in a prior test not reflected in the current record. Tyre tread depth and sidewall condition should also be verified, as high mileage often correlates with accelerated tyre degradation. Structural integrity, particularly around wheel arches and underbody, should be examined for corrosion, though no such issues were noted in the MOTs. The vehicle’s history shows no red flags, but the mileage profile demands due diligence. A pre-purchase inspection should focus on components most affected by high usage — suspension, brakes, exhaust, and steering — to confirm no hidden wear or fatigue has developed since the last test. The consistent passing record suggests responsible ownership, but the volume of miles driven means that routine maintenance may have been prioritised over preventative replacement, so a thorough mechanical check is essential before purchase.
