2020 Renault Kadjar 1.5L Diesel · BN70 ZVR

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 6 August 2026 with no defects recorded. When reviewing the historical data, there is a clear trend of improvement in the vehicle's condition. While the 2023 test resulted in a failure due to a major tyre defect and several advisories regarding tyre wear and bodywork, the subsequent tests in 2024, 2025, and 2026 show a progressive reduction in reported issues, culminating in two consecutive clean certificates. This indicates that the previous owner has addressed the earlier neglect and the vehicle is currently in a stable state of roadworthiness. With a recorded mileage of 46,307 miles over approximately six years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 7,718 miles per year. This usage rate is considered typical for a vehicle of this age and class, suggesting a balanced duty cycle that avoids the extremes of excessive wear associated with high-mileage commuting or the degradation caused by prolonged periods of standing. Mechanically, this mileage suggests that while major drivetrain components should remain healthy, the vehicle is entering a phase where standard wear-and-tear consumables will require systematic replacement. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the tyre history, as the 2023 records highlighted both a significant sidewall cut and uneven wear on the front edges. During a test drive, listen for any abnormal road noise or vibrations that could indicate lingering wheel alignment issues or suspension bush wear. Carefully inspect the current tyre treads for any signs of scrubbing or uneven wear patterns, which would suggest that the tracking has not been correctly adjusted. Additionally, examine the offside rear light cluster for any signs of previous repair or moisture ingress, following the earlier reports of a broken unit and lens contamination. Given the vehicle's age and moderate mileage, it is essential to verify the service history regarding calendar-based maintenance. Ensure that the engine oil and filters have been changed at the recommended intervals and check for evidence of brake fluid replacement, as this fluid degrades over time regardless of mileage. Inspect the brake discs for any surface corrosion or lip formation and ensure there is no binding in the calipers. Finally, check the condition of the 12V battery and the health of the auxiliary components, as these often degrade on a six-year schedule even when the annual mileage remains modest.
