2020 Renault Kadjar 1.3L Petrol · CA69 WSV

This Renault Kadjar has maintained a consistently clean MOT history over the past five annual tests, with no defects or advisories recorded at any stage. The most recent inspection on 2026-02-05, at 26,981 miles, confirms the vehicle remains roadworthy without any immediate mechanical or structural concerns. The absence of recurring issues across all tests suggests the vehicle has been subjected to regular, if not rigorous, maintenance—though this does not preclude the need for independent verification of critical components. The recorded mileage of 26,981 miles over six years equates to approximately 4,497 miles annually, a figure significantly lower than the UK average for a vehicle of this age. The incremental mileage increases—rising by roughly 1,258 miles between each test—indicate a stable, low-use pattern with no abrupt spikes or prolonged periods of inactivity. While low mileage generally correlates with reduced wear on high-stress components, it also raises questions about whether the vehicle has been stored in conditions that could accelerate corrosion or degrade fluids. The lack of advisories on suspension, brakes, or emissions over this period does not rule out hidden deterioration in areas like coil springs, subframe mounts, or brake caliper guides, which may not always manifest as MOT failures. Given the clean MOT record, a buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of suspension integrity, particularly the rear coil springs and bushes, as these are prone to fatigue over time even with low mileage. The brakes, while never flagged in tests, warrant close examination for uneven wear, binding calipers, or corrosion on the rear discs—common issues in vehicles with extended periods of low use. Structural corrosion, particularly around the wheel arches, sills, and subframe, should be checked, especially if the vehicle has spent time in coastal or salty environments. Fluid levels and condition—brake fluid, power steering, and engine oil—should also be verified, as prolonged storage can degrade their effectiveness. The absence of MOT advisories does not guarantee these areas are flawless; independent assessment remains essential.
