2018 Renault Kangoo 1.5L Diesel · D21 AAL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than proactive upkeep. While the latest test in October 2025 at 64,373 miles passed, it revealed advisories for all four tyres being worn close to the legal limit and showing uneven wear. This indicates a departure from the clean records seen in 2022 and 2024, suggesting that the owner has neglected basic consumable replacements until they became critical. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eight-year-old van, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per annum. Between the October 2024 test at 50,101 miles and the October 2025 test at 64,373 miles, the vehicle covered 14,272 miles, representing a significant spike in annual usage. The failure in October 2023 at 34,373 miles was due to minor items, specifically ineffective wiper blades and a structural bulge in the offside rear tyre. This structural failure on the tyre suggests the vehicle may have been subjected to curb strikes or impact damage despite the relatively low annual mileage. A buyer must perform a thorough physical inspection of the suspension geometry and alignment. The uneven edge wear reported across all four tyres in the 2025 record often points to worn suspension bushes, faulty control arms, or incorrect tracking settings. You should also check for signs of corrosion on the rear sills and exhaust mounting points, as the record does not detail structural integrity beyond basic passes. Given the previous tyre bulge failure, verifying the integrity of the current set of tyres is essential to ensure no further impact damage exists.
