2016 Renault Kadjar 1.5L Diesel · CE66 MLL

The 2016 Renault Kadjar shows a stable and favourable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent MOT test on 6 October 2025—just nine months ago—confirming no defects and a clean pass. This consistency across five consecutive tests (2022–2025) suggests the vehicle has undergone regular servicing and has not experienced any recurring mechanical failures. The absence of advisories or failings on emissions, brakes, or suspension components indicates the tester did not identify any critical wear patterns. However, the double entry for October 2023—where the vehicle was tested twice on the same mileage—appears anomalous and may warrant clarification from the seller regarding its cause. The recorded mileage of 35,331 miles over ten years equates to an average of approximately 3,500 miles annually, which is unusually low for a vehicle of this age and type. This suggests prolonged periods of inactivity or very light usage, potentially mitigating some wear concerns. The gap between tests remains consistent at one year, with no abrupt spikes or drops in mileage between 2022 and 2025, reinforcing the likelihood of careful ownership. The lack of mileage accumulation between October 2023 and September 2024—where the odometer remained static at 24,976 miles—is particularly notable and may indicate extended storage or limited use during that period. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of suspension components, particularly the rear suspension bushes and coil springs, given their typical wear rate over 35,000 miles. The brakes, while not failed in tests, should be assessed for uneven pad wear or binding calipers, especially if the vehicle has experienced prolonged standing. Tyres, though not flagged in tests, may require scrutiny for uneven tread depth or dry-rotting, given the low mileage and potential storage conditions. Structural integrity, particularly around wheel arches and sills, should also be examined for corrosion, as rust can develop even in low-mileage vehicles exposed to UK weather. The double MOT entry in 2023 should prompt the seller to provide evidence of any additional checks or servicing conducted during that period.
