2021 Renault Kangoo Business + ML20 I ZE 33 Electricity · DY21 VTZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a decline in pre-test inspection diligence. The most recent test on 23 April 2026 at 25,520 miles initially failed due to a non-functional offside stop light and cracked rear sidewalls. While these issues were rectified to secure a pass, the presence of these faults suggests the previous owner did not perform basic safety checks prior to the MOT appointment. The mileage pattern is consistently low for a five-year-old van, averaging approximately 5,100 miles per year. Data shows a steady progression from 11,203 miles in April 2024 to 17,121 miles in April 2025, finally reaching 25,520 miles by April 2026. This low usage generally indicates less wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, though it increases the risk of rubber-based parts degrading, as evidenced by the tyre sidewall failures found in the latest test. A buyer must physically inspect the condition of all four tyres, as the cracked sidewalls noted in 2026 indicate the rubber is perished due to age rather than tread wear. The previous 2025 failure regarding a phone holder obstructing the windscreen is a minor ergonomic issue but highlights a lack of attention to visibility standards. Given the low mileage, the inspector should also check for brake disc corrosion or flat spots, which frequently occur when vehicles sit for long periods between uses.
