2019 Renault Kadjar 1.3L Petrol · DV69 ODH

The vehicle's overall roadworthiness is currently good, but the maintenance trend appears to be deteriorating, particularly regarding the front brakes and windscreen wipers. The most recent MOT, taken on 2025-11-17 at 43,249 miles, passed with only thin wear on the front brake pads, which is the first time this specific issue has been flagged in the history. This indicates that the previous owner may have been neglecting the critical front braking system, leading to accelerated wear and subsequent failure. Regarding the mileage pattern, the vehicle has maintained a consistent 6,178 miles per year for the past six years, which is typical for a 7-year-old model. While this consistent accumulation suggests the car is being driven regularly, it does not mitigate the significant wear occurring on critical components. The rapid mileage increase from the 14,829-mile failure in 2022 to the 37,779-mile failure in 2024 highlights a lack of proactive maintenance, as the car was not serviced during the period of rapid mileage accumulation. In conclusion, the vehicle is not roadworthy for driving at current speeds, and the recurring faults in the windscreen wipers and front brakes indicate a fundamental lack of upkeep. The tester flagged binding rear brakes in the September 2023 test, suggesting that even if the vehicle is otherwise functional, the rear suspension and braking system may be compromised. A buyer must inspect the car in person to verify the condition of the windscreen wipers and assess the binding condition of the rear brakes before proceeding.
