2015 Renault Kangoo 1.5L Diesel · DA12 MOW

The Renault Kangoo presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 30 January 2026 at 55,862 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, though the same date also shows a failed entry with no defects listed, indicating an administrative or procedural failure rather than a mechanical fault. Prior tests in January of 2025, 2024, and 2023 all passed cleanly with no advisories, confirming a consistent absence of flagged wear across the recorded history. The mileage pattern reflects light use for an 11-year-old vehicle. The record shows 34,757 miles at the January 2023 test, rising to 43,893 by January 2024, 51,063 by January 2025, and 55,862 by January 2026. That equates to roughly 5,000 miles per year with no sudden accumulation or dormant gaps. Low annual mileage of this nature often correlates with short urban trips or extended standing periods, which can allow corrosion or perished rubber components to develop unseen despite clean MOT outcomes. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle's age and low-use profile. Standing time promotes seizing of calipers and degradation of flexible brake hoses that a pass with no defects will not capture. The exhaust system and underbody structural integrity warrant checks for rust, particularly around sills and suspension mounts where moisture gathers on infrequently driven vans. The clean advisory history suggests previous owners kept basic statutory testing current but offers no evidence of proactive maintenance beyond MOT compliance. Given the two entries on 30 January 2026, verify the V5C and test certificate to confirm the failure was clerical and the pass is the valid current certificate before purchase.
