2006 Renault Kangoo 1.5L Diesel · CA06 XWT

The 2026-06-18 test indicates that the vehicle has not been tested in 166,230 miles since late 2022, placing the most recent MOT within approximately 430 days of the current date. This significant gap suggests that the vehicle's maintenance history has been fragmented, likely due to irregular ownership periods or skipped tests. The test results show that the car passed in September 2022, but failed in August 2022, creating a clear deterioration in mechanical condition between those dates, which is a sign of an ongoing trend of worsening rather than stable maintenance. The mileage pattern reveals a substantial accumulation of 166,230 miles over the last 16 years, which is consistent with a vehicle of its age but indicates that the owner has maintained the car at a high mileage level, potentially leading to excessive wear on components such as the suspension, brakes, and drivetrain. This high mileage has resulted in numerous failed tests in the past, including two failures in 2021 and 2022, and one failure in 2022, demonstrating a pattern of recurring mechanical issues that do not resolve quickly. A buyer should inspect the vehicle for the specific faults recorded in the MOT record, particularly focusing on the nearside front brake disc which has been pitted or scored but not seriously weakened, and the anti-roll bar linkage pin or bush which has been worn but not resulting in excessive movement. Given the history of suspension arm ball joints and lower suspension arm pin or bush worn, structural integrity in the suspension system may be compromised, requiring a visual inspection of the strut mounts and bushings for corrosion or excessive play. The brake system, while generally in good condition, warrants checking for any signs of rust or binding calipers that could indicate wear beyond the limits of the current test.
