2018 Renault Kadjar 1.3L Petrol · BD68 UAS

The vehicle remains roadworthy as of its most recent MOT on 2025-08-26, with no defects recorded at 23,736 miles. The maintenance trend is stable — all five consecutive tests from 2021 to 2025 passed without issue, indicating consistent care and no emerging mechanical or structural concerns. The absence of advisories or failures suggests the owner has maintained the car to a standard that meets UK roadworthiness requirements, with no signs of neglect or progressive deterioration. Mileage progression shows a steady, low annual rate of approximately 2,967 miles per year over eight years, which aligns with the vehicle’s age and supports the conclusion that it has seen minimal use. The recorded mileages — 12,250 in 2021, 14,300 in 2022, 16,465 in 2023, 20,309 in 2024, and 23,736 in 2025 — reflect a consistent, gradual increase with no sudden jumps or long gaps between tests. This pattern implies the car has likely been driven infrequently or stored for periods, which may preserve mechanical components but could also mean certain systems, like brakes or suspension, have not been exercised regularly. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer should inspect the suspension components closely — particularly the bushes and coil springs — as low mileage can mask wear from inactivity rather than actual durability. Brake systems should also be checked for binding or uneven wear, since infrequent use may lead to corrosion or sticking calipers. The exhaust and underbody should be examined for early signs of rust, as low mileage doesn’t eliminate corrosion risk, especially in damp or coastal regions. Tyre tread and wiper blades should be assessed for age-related degradation, as these are consumables that degrade regardless of mileage. No structural defects were flagged in the records, but a visual inspection for rust or panel damage remains prudent.
