2016 Renault Kadjar 1.2L Petrol · DS16 LBJ

The current roadworthiness of this Renault Kadjar remains stable, as evidenced by the clean pass recorded on 30 October 2025 at 66,226 miles. While the vehicle successfully passed its most recent inspection, the tester noted that both front and rear brake pads are wearing thin. This indicates that the braking system is approaching the end of its current service life and will require replacement in the near future to maintain optimal performance. The vehicle has covered 66,226 miles over its ten-year lifespan, averaging approximately 6,600 miles per annum. This usage pattern is consistent and suggests the car has been driven regularly rather than left standing for extended periods, which helps prevent issues related to seized components or stale fuel. The mileage accumulation has remained steady, with roughly 10,000 miles added between the 2024 and 2025 tests, reflecting a predictable and moderate rate of wear. Prospective buyers should prioritise a physical inspection of the brake discs and pads, as the recent advisories confirm that these consumables are nearing their minimum thickness. The history shows a recurring pattern of tyre wear issues noted in 2021 and 2022, which may point to previous alignment or tracking neglect. Check the current tyre tread depths and look for uneven wear patterns across the shoulders of all four tyres to ensure the suspension geometry remains within specification. The absence of structural or mechanical advisories in the last two years suggests the vehicle has been maintained to a reasonable standard, though a thorough check of the suspension bushes and coil springs is still advised given the vehicle age and mileage.
