2012 Renault Kangoo 1.5L Diesel · AV12 AHU

The Renault Kangoo presents as roadworthy on the most recent test, passing cleanly on 2026-02-06 at 89,050 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the last three years, with every annual examination either passing or showing a failed attempt followed by immediate clearance on the same day and mileage, suggesting administrative or minor pre-test corrections rather than unresolved mechanical decline. Recorded mileage sits at 89,050 against a 2012 build, averaging roughly 6,361 miles per year, which is typical for the vehicle's age and implies light to moderate use. The odometer moved only 1,637 miles between the February 2024 and February 2025 tests and a further 1,637 miles to February 2026, confirming a low-annual-distance pattern with no rapid accumulation or suspicious gaps. The DVSA history is sparse, showing four tests and two same-day failures at 84,966 and 87,413 miles with no advisories or defects logged, so the record gives little evidence of neglected consumables or structural issues. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's fourteen years, as MOT passes with zero advisories do not confirm absence of wear below reporting thresholds. The repeated same-day fail-and-pass cycles at 84,966 and 87,413 miles warrant checking the tester's reasons retrospectively, since the record lists no defects yet a failure was logged, pointing to either emissions or documentation checks rather than visible fault. Given the clean trailing record and low yearly mileage, previous keepers appear to have maintained basic statutory testing discipline, though the unexplained failures suggest the vehicle may have sat unused between tests, raising the risk of perished rubber components or corroded brake calipers from standing. Verify underside structural integrity and exhaust condition before purchase.
