2014 Renault Kangoo 1.5L Diesel · DA14 KCJ

The Kangoo presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 17 November 2025 at 129,331 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the prior pass on 29 November 2024 at 128,027 miles also showed a clean sheet. Two earlier failures in 2023 and 2024 carry no recorded defects, which points to administrative or presentational test issues rather than mechanical faults. The vehicle sits in a sound condition on paper with no advisories or worsening pattern across the timeline. Mileage accumulation tracks typical use for a 2014 van. The record shows 122,060 miles on 20 July 2023, rising to 128,021 miles by 8 July 2024 and 129,331 miles by November 2025. That equates to roughly 6,000 miles in the first interval and only 1,300 miles across the following fifteen months. The low recent accumulation suggests lighter running or periods off the road, which can allow corrosion or seized components to develop unseen. The clean defect history gives no flagged suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or structural integrity concerns across any test. The two defect-free failures remain unexplained by the data but imply no outstanding mechanical reject at those dates. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of underbody corrosion, brake caliper freedom, and tyre sidewall condition given the vehicle's twelve-year age and the long low-use spell after mid-2024. Previous keepers appear to have maintained statutory testing discipline, with the van returning to pass status promptly after each failure. No recurring consumable neglect such as worn wiper blades or tyre tread limits appears in the advisories. The absence of recorded faults across 129,331 miles is a positive indicator, though the sparse commentary on the failed tests warrants a check of the original failure reasons with DVSA before purchase.
