2017 Renault Kangoo 1.5L Diesel · AV17 DVL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy; the most recent MOT on 20 July 2026 at 134 141 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating the maintenance trend has shifted from earlier failures to a clean status. The preceding test in July 2025 flagged a nearside rear tyre worn close to the legal limit, but that issue appears resolved. The pattern shows an improving trajectory after multiple failures in 2020‑2024, suggesting repairs were carried out and the car now meets current standards. Mileage accumulation is high for a 2017 model, averaging roughly 15 000 miles per year. MOT entries are spaced annually, with a brief gap in 2020 due to the COVID‑19 six‑month extension, but otherwise the log is consistent. The steady rise from 49 019 miles in April 2020 to 134 141 miles in July 2026 confirms continuous use rather than long periods of inactivity. A buyer should inspect the tyre condition closely; the history records multiple instances of front and rear tyre wear, a nearside front tyre tread below 1.6 mm, and a rear tyre cut reaching the cords. Steering play is evident from the nearside front rack joint and offside front track rod end ball joint advisories, so the steering system should be tested for excess movement. Brake wear is a recurring concern, with pads recorded below 1.5 mm thickness and thin wear notes in 2021 and 2022, requiring a check of pad thickness and disc condition. The 2023 report noted a light oil mist from the offside rear shock absorber; that unit should be examined for leaks. Finally, lighting circuits have been problematic—registration plate lamp failures and a front position lamp fault—so all lamps and switches must be verified functional. The recent clean MOT suggests these items have been addressed, but the high mileage implies further wear on consumables is likely.
