2020 Renault Kadjar 1.5L Diesel · CK70 YVN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a shifting trend toward reactive rather than proactive care. The most recent test in January 2026 at 46,041 miles resulted in a failure due to incorrect headlamp aim on both front units. While this was rectified to achieve a pass, the recurring advisory for cracking and perishing rear tyres across the last three tests suggests a lack of attention to rubber component degradation and age-related wear. At 46,041 miles over six years, the Kadjar averages approximately 7,674 miles per annum, which aligns with typical UK domestic usage patterns. The mileage data shows consistent use over time, with roughly 9,000 miles covered between October 2023 and January 2025, and another 9,000 miles between January 2025 and January 2026. This steady progression suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long stationary periods, though the low annual mileage means that certain components may be suffering from time-based rot rather than mechanical wear. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension geometry, as the January 2025 test at 37,158 miles flagged an offside front tyre wearing excessively on the inner edge. This often points to misalignment or worn suspension bushes that may require professional adjustment. Furthermore, the report of worn front brake discs with surface corrosion during that same test necessitates a physical check of the remaining thickness and pad condition to ensure they are not nearing premature replacement. The rear tyres require immediate attention as the advisory for cracking and perishing has persisted since early 2025. Despite the low mileage, the chemical breakdown of the rubber indicates it is becoming brittle, posing a risk of grip loss or structural failure. Verify the sidewalls of all four tyres for deep fractures before purchase to avoid immediate replacement costs.
