2020 Renault Kadjar 1.3L Petrol · DS20 LJZ

A clean MOT record defines this Kadjar’s mechanical story, with five consecutive tests showing no recorded defects and only a single failure logged in August 2025 that listed no specific faults – an administrative anomaly rather than a substantive issue. The most recent pass on 28 August 2025 confirms the vehicle met all statutory requirements at that time, reinforcing a pattern of consistent roadworthiness across the past three years. At 22,581 miles the Kadjar averages roughly 3,800 miles per year, well below the typical UK usage for a six‑year‑old car. Such low annual mileage suggests limited wear on consumables such as brake pads, tyres and suspension components, but it may also indicate periods of prolonged inactivity. The MOT schedule – July 2023, January 2024, December 2024 and two tests in August 2025 – shows regular testing without any long gaps that could hide emerging faults, supporting the view that the vehicle has been driven modestly and inspected consistently. Even with an apparently spotless MOT history, a prudent buyer should still verify the condition of wear items that are not captured by a pass/fail outcome. On a test drive listen for any clunking or knocking over bumps that could hint at worn suspension bushes or loose control arm bolts, and feel for any pulsation or excessive travel in the brake pedal that might reveal thinning pads or disc surface irregularities. Check that the steering remains centred without pull, and ensure the exhaust is free of rattles that could indicate hidden corrosion or mounting failures. Because the lone failure recorded no defects, it is advisable to confirm that all lights, indicators and emissions sensors are fully operational, as a faulty lamp or sensor can trigger a failure despite an otherwise sound vehicle. A visual inspection of the under‑body for any signs of rust, especially around the wheel arches and subframe, and a quick check of tyre tread depth and sidewall condition will round out the assessment, ensuring that the Kadjar’s low mileage and clean MOT record translate into genuine roadworthiness for the new owner.
