2019 Renault Koleos 2.0L Diesel · CU19 RYZ

The vehicle's overall roadworthiness is good, but the maintenance trend shows a clear deterioration pattern. In the September 2023 test at 53,380 miles, the tester flagged binding rear brakes and exhaust emissions, indicating a worsening condition that persisted into 2026. This suggests the vehicle has not undergone significant preventative maintenance since the 2022 test, where brake discs were inspected and replaced, and the exhaust system was checked. The lack of a 2025-2026 record for these specific components means the wear is likely accelerating, placing the car at risk of future failures. The mileage accumulation over the last seven years is exceptionally rapid, averaging approximately 7,626 miles annually. This pace is consistent with an older model vehicle, but it raises concerns about the integrity of the drivetrain and suspension. The absence of a 2025-2026 record suggests that the vehicle has not been serviced for wheel bearings, suspension bushings, or brake pads since the 2024 test, meaning these critical components have likely accumulated excessive wear. The lack of a 2026-2027 record further confirms that the vehicle has not been checked for these items since the 2025-2026 test, leaving the system vulnerable to further deterioration. Given the recurring faults in brake discs and exhaust emissions, the buyer must inspect the vehicle in person to determine the current status of suspension bushings, wheel bearings, and brake pads. If the engine is running smoothly but the brakes feel hot or the exhaust smells of exhaust fumes, the vehicle is likely in serious condition and requires immediate professional assessment. A buyer should not proceed with a purchase without confirming that the brake systems and suspension are free of structural rust and that all wear items are within the acceptable range for a vehicle of this age and mileage.
