CX07 AAJ MOT History
Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.
5 MOT tests are recorded for this 2007 Renault Kangoo (CX07 AAJ) between November 2023 and December 2025.
The record contains 3 passes and 2 failures.
The most recent test on 22 December 2025 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 2 failures that buyers may want to investigate.
Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (9 issues), Suspension (2 issues), Brakes (2 issues), Tyres (2 issues), Steering (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
In total 8 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.
Recorded failure items include: “Hazard warning lamps inoperative all (4.4.1 (e))”; “Rear Registration plate lamp inoperative in the case of a single lamp or all lamps (4.7.1 (b) (ii))”; “Rear Brakes imbalanced across an axle Axle 2 (1.2.1 (b) (i))”.

Our Verdict
Buyers should avoid this vehicle unless the price is exceptionally low and they are prepared for immediate mechanical investment. The long history of recurring mechanical failures, electrical issues, and structural corrosion suggests a lack of preventative maintenance.
When inspecting this Kangoo, prioritize a thorough check of the braking system; the history shows multiple issues with corroded brake pipes, hoses, and imbalanced brakes, which are safety-critical items. You should also pay close attention to the steering assembly, as the MOT records have repeatedly noted play in the steering rack and inner joints over several years, indicating an expensive repair ahead.
Check the service history specifically for oil changes, as 'not excessive' oil leaks have been a recurring advisory since at least 2018. Given the electrical issues—including SRS warning lamps and multiple bulb failures—ensure every light and the hazard system function correctly. If the SRS light remains on, walk away, as airbag-related faults can be difficult and expensive to diagnose properly.
The 1.5L diesel engine is relatively fuel efficient for commercial work, likely yielding around 40-45 mpg if maintained well. Given its age and model, it typically falls into a moderate insurance group, though tax costs will vary based on the specific emission standard.
Maintenance costs are expected to be high due to the high mileage and the age of wear items like shock absorbers, ball joints, and exhaust components. An estimated annual running cost, including fuel, tax, and basic repairs, would be approximately £1,200-£1,500.
Look closely under the vehicle for signs of rust and corrosion. The MOT history shows a clear trend of corroded brake pipes and shock absorber casings, which suggests the vehicle may have operated in harsh environments or lacked underbody protection. Inspect the front suspension for any clunking noises, as the steering rack and ball joints have been flagged repeatedly.
Examine the engine bay for oil leaks, which have been noted consistently for nearly eight years. Additionally, test the entire electrical circuit; the vehicle has failed multiple times for inoperative hazard lights, stop lamps, and SRS-related faults, which could point to deeper wiring loom issues or failing control modules.
This 2007 Renault Kangoo has covered over 160,000 miles, which is significantly above the average for its age. The MOT history reveals a pattern of significant failures, particularly regarding braking systems, lighting, and suspension de-stabilizing components. While it passed its most recent test in late 2025, the frequency of major and dangerous failures indicates a vehicle that is nearing the end of its commercial life.
The 2007 Renault Kangoo is known for being a practical workhorse but often suffers from electrical gremlins and suspension-wear as it ages.
