2016 Renault Kadjar 1.5L Diesel · AY16 SZP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. While it passed its most recent test in March 2026 at 94,509 miles, it failed just one day prior due to multiple suspension and braking defects. The recent repairs to the nearside front anti-roll bar linkage and lower suspension arm ball joint dust covers indicate that the owner only addressed wear-and-tear components once they reached the point of inspection failure. At 94,509 miles over ten years, the Renault Kadjar has covered an average of approximately 9,450 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage patterns for its age. The record shows consistent annual testing, with roughly 11,000 miles driven between March 2024 and March 2025, and another 10,230 miles between March 2025 and March 2026. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle has been used regularly, which accounts for the expected degradation of mechanical components. A buyer must conduct a close physical inspection of the front suspension and braking system. The March 2026 test flagged thin rear brake pads and pitted/scored discs, while the offside front disc was noted as worn in 2025. The light misting of oil on the offside rear shock absorber is an early sign of seal failure that should be monitored for worsening. Furthermore, the history of tyres reaching the legal limit on the edges across 2024 and 2026 suggests the owner delays consumable replacement until safety failures are imminent, which may mask underlying alignment issues or general neglect.
