2020 Renault Kadjar 1.5L Diesel · BD70 EKW

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy condition, though the maintenance history shows a developing trend regarding brake component wear. The most recent test in May 2026 at 33,103 miles resulted in an advisory for thin rear brake pads. This follows a similar entry in October 2024 at 23,741 miles where the front pads were flagged as wearing thin. While the vehicle consistently passes its tests, these recurring advisories suggest the owner reacts to faults as they appear rather than performing preventative maintenance. At 33,103 miles over six years, this Kadjar has covered significantly low mileage, averaging approximately 5,500 miles per year. The usage pattern appears consistent, with a 5,352-mile interval between the October 2023 and October 2024 tests, and another 5,886 miles between July 2025 and May 2026. This low annual mileage generally reduces strain on the drivetrain and suspension, though it can sometimes lead to corrosion if the vehicle sits for long periods. A buyer should physically inspect the braking system to assess the remaining life of the pads and check the discs for any scoring or uneven wear. Given the repeated advisories for pads on both axles, it is vital to verify that the calipers are not seizing or sticking, which could cause premature thinning. The low mileage also warrants a close look at the rubber components, such as suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls, as parts can age and crack faster than they wear through use on low-mile vehicles.
