Our Verdict
Exercise significant caution before purc
A primary focus for any buyer should be the underside of the vehicle. The MOT records show repeated issues with brake pipe corrosion (noted in both 2023 and 2025) and coil spring mounting corrosion. You should check if these repairs were comprehensive or merely 'patch jobs'.
Furthermore, given the recent failure for a split CV boot and worn suspension arm bushes, it is essential to check the condition of all drive shafts and suspension bushings. Ask the seller for evidence of recent work regarding the brake lines and suspension to ensure the 2025 failures were addressed to a high standard.
As a 1.5L diesel, this Kangoo is designed for economy, though running costs will be influenced by its high mileage. Fuel economy should be reasonable for a small van, but maintenance costs may be higher than average due to the age and the pattern of wear seen in the MOT history, such as suspension and braking components.
Insurance groups for this model are typically moderate, but the high mileage may affect premiums. You should budget for more frequent replacement of consumables like tyres, brake discs, and suspension parts, which have appeared as advisories or failures in the past.
Inspect the brake system thoroughly; the 2023 and 2025 MOTs specifically flagged corroded brake pipes, which is a safety-critical issue. Check the nearside drive shaft for any signs of grease leakage, as a split CV boot was a recent failure point.
Additionally, examine the suspension components. The history shows a recurring theme of worn suspension arm bushes and corroded coil spring mountings. A test drive to listen for knocks or clunks from the front or rear axles is highly recommended to check for further wear in the suspension system.
This 2011 white Renault Kangoo 1.5 dCi has covered 177,396 miles since its first registration in February 2011. The MOT history reveals frequent failures, particularly regarding brake pipe corrosion, suspension components, and tyre condition. While the most recent test was a pass, the vehicle has a history of multiple defects across its recent inspections.
No aggregate reliability data is available for this specific model to provide a comparative baseline.
