2018 Renault Kadjar 1.2L Petrol · EF18 DVT

The 2018 Renault Kadjar presents a clean bill of health following its most recent MOT on 10 June 2025 at 32,488 miles, where the tester recorded zero defects. The overall maintenance trend is stable and, by recent evidence, improving. The sole blemish in the past five years occurred in the June 2024 test at 29,072 miles, where advisories were raised for an offside front tyre worn close to the legal limit and a nearside rear tyre showing inner sidewall damage, cracking, or perishing. Both items appear to have been addressed, as the following year's test produced a completely clear result with no repeat tyre or wheel-related advisories. Mileage accumulation tells a consistent story of light use. The vehicle has covered roughly 4,061 miles per year on average, well below the UK typical annual figure. Progression through the record is steady: 12,194 miles in June 2021, 17,963 miles in May 2022, 23,441 miles in June 2023, 29,072 miles in June 2024, and 32,488 miles in June 2025. Gaps between tests are narrow and annual, with no sudden spikes or prolonged periods of inactivity evident in the data. The 2025 test is only twelve days old relative to today's date, making this a highly current snapshot of the vehicle's condition. Buyers should still carry out a focused physical inspection despite the clean recent record. The 2024 advisories on both front and rear tyres suggest the previous owner may have deferred basic consumable replacements, so checking the date codes, sidewall condition, and tread depth across all four tyres, including the spare if fitted, remains prudent. At eight years old with low mileage, suspension components such as bushes, drop links, and dampers may suffer from age-related deterioration and lack of use rather than wear. Inspect for perished rubber, uneven tyre wear patterns, and any knocking or clunking over articulation. The Kadjar's rear beam and subframe should be examined for corrosion, particularly if the vehicle has spent extended periods stationary. Brake discs and pads may show lipping or surface rust given the modest annual mileage, so a test drive assessing braking feel and any pulling to one side is advisable.
