2019 Renault Kadjar 1.3L Petrol · DV19 UHE

The 2019 Renault Kadjar presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 2 February 2026 at 43,603 miles with zero defects recorded. That clean sheet followed a same-day failure for rear brake pads below 1.5 mm, which was rectified immediately before the retest. The record shows no recurring structural or safety-critical failures, and the most recent outcome indicates the vehicle currently meets all DVSA roadworthiness standards. The mileage progression is consistent and unremarkable for a seven-year-old vehicle. The car covered 8,492 miles between the February 2023 test at 17,476 miles and the February 2024 test at 26,211 miles, then 7,510 miles to the February 2025 test at 35,721 miles, and a further 7,882 miles to the February 2026 test at 43,603 miles. This equates to roughly 6,200 miles per year, which is typical for mixed use and suggests no prolonged periods of standing or sudden high-mileage accumulation. The annual test intervals are regular, with no gaps exceeding thirteen months, indicating consistent ownership and upkeep. The advisory history points to a vehicle that has required regular attention to consumable wear items rather than underlying mechanical defects. Front brake pads and discs were flagged as wearing thin in February 2025 at 35,721 miles, and all three tyres noted then were close to the legal limit or worn on the edge, suggesting the previous owner allowed tyre wear to progress toward the minimum before replacement. The rear brake pads failed in February 2026, which is consistent with a pattern of running friction materials to their limit rather than proactive replacement. A buyer should inspect the condition of all four brake discs and remaining pad thickness, check for uneven tyre wear that could indicate alignment or suspension geometry issues, and verify that the nearside front lower suspension arm bush flagged in February 2024 at 26,211 miles has not deteriorated further. The February 2024 advisory for a worn nearside front lower suspension arm bush is the only non-consumable defect on record. While it was noted as not causing excessive movement at the time, a bush that was already flagged at 26,211 miles and has since covered a further 17,392 miles warrants physical inspection for play, cracking, or deterioration. There are no recorded corrosion, exhaust emission, or structural integrity concerns across the entire history, which is a positive indicator for a vehicle of this age. A prospective buyer should still conduct a thorough underbody inspection and test drive to confirm the suspension remains tight and the braking system operates without pulling, vibration, or delayed pedal response.
