2019 Renault Kadjar 1.5L Diesel · BN69 VST

The Renault Kadjar in question presents a clean and stable MOT history, with the most recent test on 10 April 2026 at 31,792 miles passing without any defects. This aligns with the preceding three annual tests— 17 March 2025 (25,992 miles) , 4 April 2024 (17,541 miles) , and 13 April 2023 (6,301 miles) —all of which also passed without advisories or failures. The only anomaly is a duplicate entry on 13 April 2023 , where the vehicle was recorded as both passing and failing at the same mileage, likely a data error rather than a mechanical issue. The absence of recurring advisories or defects suggests the car has been well maintained in critical areas, though the lack of mileage accumulation raises questions about its operational history. The vehicle’s mileage progression is unusually low for its age, averaging just 4,542 miles per year over seven years. This could indicate infrequent use, extended periods of inactivity, or potential odometer discrepancies. The jump from 6,301 miles in April 2023 to 17,541 miles by April 2024 —an increase of over 11,000 miles in a year—stands out as the most significant accumulation in the record. Beyond that, the mileage increments slow dramatically, with only 8,451 miles added between April 2024 and March 2025 , followed by a modest 5,800 miles in the following 12 months. Such variability suggests either seasonal or sporadic usage rather than consistent driving. Given the absence of defects in the MOT history, a prospective buyer should still conduct a thorough pre-purchase inspection, focusing on components not routinely checked during MOTs. Particular attention should be given to suspension bushes and coil springs , as low-mileage vehicles can still develop wear if the car has been driven on rough roads or left unsupported for long periods. Brake binding or uneven pad wear should be checked, even though no advisories were recorded, as binding calipers or seized components can develop without triggering an MOT failure. Structural corrosion —especially around wheel arches, sills, and underbody—should be inspected, as rust can progress slowly even with minimal mileage. Finally, exhaust emissions and fluid leaks (brake, coolant, oil) warrant close examination, as these are not part of the MOT test but can indicate deferred maintenance. The vehicle’s MOT record suggests it has been kept in a mechanically sound state, but the irregular mileage pattern and lack of recent service history beyond the MOTs mean due diligence is essential. Without further service records, a buyer cannot confirm whether routine maintenance—such as oil changes, air filter replacements, or tyre rotations—has been consistently performed. The clean MOT history is a positive sign, but hidden issues in less frequently inspected areas remain a risk.
