2019 Renault Kadjar 1.3L Petrol · BW19 TZE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful rectification of its most recent failure. However, the record from the March 2026 test at 31,308 miles shows a critical failure due to an inoperative engine management light, indicating an anti-pollution system malfunction. The fact that the vehicle passed on the same day suggests the fault was addressed immediately, but it highlights a potential electronic or sensor-related issue that was not present in the previous clean tests. The mileage profile is notably low for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,400 miles per year. The data shows consistent, low-intensity usage, moving from 18,237 miles in May 2023 to 31,308 miles in March 2026. This low mileage typically implies less mechanical wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, though low-mileage cars can sometimes suffer from degradation of rubber seals or surface corrosion on braking components if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods between uses. A physical inspection should focus specifically on the braking system and the electronic management system. The May 2024 test at 22,476 miles flagged thin front brake pads and worn discs, which are standard wear items but confirm the front brakes were nearing their service limit. Given the March 2026 failure regarding the engine management light, a buyer must demand a diagnostic scan to ensure no lingering fault codes remain in the memory which could indicate intermittent failures in the emissions-control system. Checking for surface rust on the discs is also advisable, as the low annual mileage often leads to moisture accumulation when the rotors are not frequently used.
