2020 Renault Kadjar 1.3L Petrol · CA20 ODC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive repairs rather than preventative care. While the most recent test in August 2025 at 61,197 miles passed, the tester identified significant wear on the front brake discs, noting pitting and scoring on the inside edges. This indicates that the components are reaching the end of their effective life without being addressed, suggesting the owner may only rectify mechanical issues once they trigger a failure or a visible defect. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical light-use cycles, averaging approximately 10,200 miles per year over the six-year period. Between July 2023 at 38,352 miles and September 2024 at 50,902 miles, the vehicle covered over 12,000 miles in a relatively short window. The failure in September 2024 due to insufficient tread depth on the offside rear and edge wear on the nearside suggests a period of neglect regarding tyre maintenance and alignment during that interval. A buyer must conduct a thorough close-up inspection of the braking system and suspension geometry. The report of pitting and scoring on the inside edges of the front discs often points to glazed material or prolonged moisture exposure, which can lead to reduced performance. Given the previous edge wear noted on the nearside rear tyre in 2024, an inspection of the rear suspension bushes and trailing control arms is necessary to ensure the alignment is not causing premature degradation of the new tyres.
