2020 Renault Kadjar 1.3L Petrol · DA20 BWB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history shows a worsening trend regarding neglected consumable components. While the most recent test in May 2026 at 50,948 miles passed, it introduced two advisories regarding an offside front tyre worn to the legal limit and an offside rear tyre showing signs of cracking. This indicates that the owner is delaying tyre replacements until they reach the failure threshold rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical light-to-medium usage, averaging approximately 8,500 miles per year. There is a significant jump of 18,130 miles between the June 2024 test and the June 2025 test, followed by another 14,923 miles in the final year. This increase in annual mileage explains the transition from a clean record in 2023, when the car had only 8,444 miles, to the appearance of recurring mechanical wear on the brakes and tyres in later inspections. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the braking system, as rear brake pads were flagged as thin in both the 2024 and 2025 tests. This recurring fault suggests the vehicle ignores brake service intervals, which could eventually lead to scored discs or seized calipers if overlooked. The uneven wear noted on the offside front tyre also suggests a potential alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that require professional verification to prevent further premature damage. Additionally, the cracking on the rear tyre suggests the rubber may have sat for long periods or is reaching its shelf life, necessitating an immediate replacement for safety.
