2017 Renault Kadjar 1.5L Diesel · BK67 YBX

The vehicle presents a concerning maintenance trend characterized by a reactive approach rather than preventative care. While the car passed its most recent MOT in September 2025 at 63,000 miles, the preceding failure on that same day reveals significant mechanical neglect. The failure recorded for a fractured offside front coil spring and a serious fluid leak from the nearside front shock absorber indicates that suspension components were ignored until they became critical. This pattern suggests the owner only addresses faults when forced by a test failure, which risks ongoing reliability. At 63,000 miles over nine years, the Kadjar averages approximately 7,000 miles per year, which is consistent with low-use urban driving. However, the data between July 2023 at 49,598 miles and September 2025 at 63,000 miles shows a rapid accumulation of wear issues despite the low mileage. The transition from thinning brake pads in July 2024 to fully pitted and scored brake discs by September 2025 indicates that basic consumable items are not being serviced between annual testing intervals. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension to ensure the repairs made after the September 2025 failure were comprehensive. The previous history of a leaking shock absorber and a broken spring warrants a check for uneven tyre wear or damage to the steering geometry. Furthermore, the recurring advisories for thin brake pads across all axles suggest the braking system may be overdue or uniformly worn. You should verify the condition of the front brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, as the record explicitly flagged them as scored during the most recent test.
