2017 Renault Kadjar 1.6L Diesel · BF67 KXH

The most recent MOT on May 6th 2026 shows this Renault Kadjar passed after failing initially due to multiple critical brake issues and a non-functioning headlight. The failure revealed dangerously thin brake pads across all four wheels, with front pads below the 1.5mm legal limit and rear pads critically worn. Both rear brake discs showed significant wear, pitting, and scoring. A recurring pattern shows brake components deteriorating rapidly over the past year. The nearside rear brake disc was noted as worn in May 2025, and by May 2026 all brake pads had reached critical thickness levels. The vehicle failed its most recent test due to safety-critical items including non-functional dipped headlights and severely compromised braking system. The rim distortion defect also poses handling risks. The trend shows rapid mechanical deterioration rather than improvement or stability. Multiple brake components reached failure points within a single year of operation. At 76,486 miles over nine years, the annual average of 8,498 miles suggests moderate use rather than heavy wear cycles.
