2019 Renault Kadjar 1.3L Petrol · DP69 LFH

The vehicle falls into the generally acceptable category for its age, but the MOT history reveals a clear deterioration in mechanical integrity. The most recent test on 2025-09-15 at 56,224 miles was passed, indicating the car was in good condition at that time. However, this stability was interrupted by a failure on 2022-11-01 at 36,653 miles, where the tester flagged binding rear brakes and nearside front tyres with exposed ply or cords. This indicates that the vehicle has experienced significant wear on critical components over a period of roughly two years, suggesting that basic upkeep was likely skipped or neglected during the ownership history. The mileage pattern shows a notable gap between the most recent test and the first failure. The first MOT was recorded on 2023-10-24 at 45,374 miles, which is approximately 11,000 miles older than the most recent one. This long gap between the last successful test and the first failure suggests that the vehicle was not subjected to routine maintenance, such as regular tyre checks or suspension adjustments, during the time between 2022 and 2023. The rapid accumulation of miles in this specific period, combined with the failure of the brakes and tyres, points to a lack of proactive care, which is a major red flag for structural safety. Given the recurring faults of binding brakes and exposed ply/cords, the vehicle presents a serious risk of imminent failure. The lack of records from the second and third tests further confirms that the vehicle has not been serviced for a long time, and the tyre wear is likely accelerating due to the lack of proper rotation and balancing. A buyer must inspect the car in person now, focusing on the binding brakes, the condition of the nearside front tyres, and the overall suspension to determine if these components are still safe for driving or if they require immediate replacement.
