2017 Renault Kadjar 1.5L Diesel · C6 TEY

The Renault Kadjar demonstrates a stable roadworthiness profile in its most recent MOT, which passed with minor issues including anti-roll bar linkage play, a deteriorated suspension arm dust cover, and a slightly damaged nearside front tyre. However, recurring defects in tyres, wheels, and suspension components suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. The failure due to a fractured coil spring and worn brake pads indicates prior neglect, while the and tests reveal consistent tyre wear and rim distortion. These patterns imply a lack of proactive servicing, particularly in addressing suspension and braking systems. The vehicle’s mileage of , miles over nine years equates to approximately , miles annually, significantly below the UK average for its age. This low usage may reflect infrequent driving or periods of inactivity, which can accelerate corrosion and component degradation. Notable gaps between MOTs, such as the ,-mile span between the and tests, raise questions about the consistency of maintenance. While the test shows no major failures, the persistence of minor issues like tyre wear and rim distortion suggests potential alignment or suspension misalignment problems that require investigation. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension system for worn bushes, coil springs, and ball joints, particularly the nearside front components flagged in multiple tests. Brake discs and pads should be checked for uneven wear, given the failure related to thin brake pads. Corrosion in the exhaust system and structural integrity of the chassis are also critical, as low mileage does not guarantee protection against rust. The repeated tyre and rim issues highlight the need to assess wheel alignment and suspension geometry, while the fractured coil spring in underscores the importance of inspecting load-bearing components for hidden damage.
