2016 Renault Kangoo 1.5L Diesel · AV16 VNR

The vehicle currently presents a roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend following a period of inconsistency. The most recent inspection conducted on 24 July 2025 at 144,250 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the owner successfully addressed previous issues identified in earlier tests. While the history shows instances of failure, the two most recent clean passes suggest that the vehicle is currently being maintained to a functional standard for road use. The mileage profile reflects a high-use pattern, averaging approximately 14,400 miles per year over its ten-year life. Between 10 July 2023 and 18 July 2024, the vehicle covered 11,494 miles, which is slightly below the annual average. However, the interval between the July 2024 and 2025 tests saw a more rapid accumulation of 10,910 miles. This consistent high mileage places significant cumulative stress on the drivetrain, suspension components, and braking system compared to lower-mileage examples of the same age. A buyer should focus on the mechanical areas that caused the failures in 2023 and 2024, although the specific defects were not detailed in the provided summary for those dates. Given the high mileage, a physical inspection must check for accelerated wear on the suspension bushes, coil springs, and ball joints which are common failure points on the Kangoo. The tester should also examine for structural corrosion on the sills and exhaust mounting points, as high-mileage commercial vehicles accelerate the degradation of metal components through constant exposure and mechanical stress.
