2011 Renault Kangoo 1.5L Diesel · BN61 KXC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive repairs rather than preventative care. The most recent test on 11 June 2025 at 130,943 miles passed despite a failure for a severely deteriorated offside front outer driveshaft CV boot. This follows a clean result in July 2024, indicating that while the vehicle meets minimum standards, components are being addressed once they reach a point of failure. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a fifteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,700 miles per year. There is a notable period of low usage between April 2022 at 127,482 miles and July 2023 at 130,055 miles, where only 2,573 miles were covered over fifteen months. This suggests the vehicle may have sat stationary, which often explains the perishing of rubber components like the cracked nearside rear tyre noted in the April 2022 test. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension and braking system. The history highlights a recurring issue with the offside front wheel bearing, which caused a failure in June 2023 after being noted as noisy previously. The ABS warning lamp failure from that same period must also be verified to ensure the fault was properly cleared and not merely an intermittent sensor. Given the recently deteriorated CV boot found in 2025, checking the entire driveshaft for grease leakage or play is essential to ensure the internal joint has not suffered damage from exposure.
