2020 Renault Kadjar 1.5L Diesel · CE20 ECT

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of worsening mechanical wear and neglected components. While the most recent test in February 2026 at 105,451 miles showed only a minor stone chip on the offside front windscreen, the previous year revealed significant mechanical issues. The transition from a clean record in earlier years to multiple defects recently suggests the vehicle is now entering a stage requiring more intensive maintenance. The mileage profile reflects high usage for a six-year-old Renault, averaging over 17,000 miles annually. Between February 2024 and February 2025, the car covered 16,325 miles, maintaining this consistency. This rapid accumulation places considerable stress on the drivetrain and suspension components. The jump from 76,415 miles to 92,740 miles in a single year confirms the vehicle is likely used for frequent motorway commuting, which explains the specific types of high-mileage wear. A buyer must prioritize a thorough inspection of the steering system and front suspension. The 2025 test specifically flagged play in the steering rack inner joints, which is a costly repair if the wear has progressed. Furthermore, the report of tyres worn heavily on the inner edges on both front wheels indicates a significant alignment issue or worn suspension bushes. These faults often lead to premature tyre degradation and compromised handling safety if not addressed through a professional geometry check and component replacement.
