2020 Renault Kangoo LL21 Bness + Energy DCI 1.5L Diesel · AY20 AZD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history shows a concerning trend of neglected consumable upkeep. While the most recent test on 6 July 2026 at 36,500 miles passed, the tester flagged three separate tyres for cracking and perishing. This indicates that despite the low mileage, the rubber components are reaching the end due to age rather than wear. The overall trend is reactive, as the owner only addresses defects upon failure rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per year. Between July 2023 at 24,183 miles and July 2024 at 28,251 miles, the vehicle covered only 4,068 miles. Usage increased more recently, with the vehicle covering 8,249 miles in the two years preceding the final tests. The low annual mileage suggests the van may sit for long periods, which explains the dry rot on the tyre sidewalls noted in the recent MOT records. A buyer must conduct a physical inspection of the entire set of tyres, as the repeated reports of perishing across multiple axles suggest the current rubber is nearing structural failure. The 2024 advisory regarding thin rear brake pads at 28,251 miles indicates that the braking system requires close monitoring. Additionally, the missing nearside front wing mirror cover noted in 2024 and the previous failure of the offside rear stop lamp reflect a pattern of minor but persistent lack of attention to the vehicle's exterior trim and lighting.
