2018 Renault Kadjar 1.2L Petrol · EF18 DVU

The vehicle presents a clean MOT record with a stable maintenance trend, culminating in a pass at the most recent test on 13 January 2026 with 38,091 miles recorded. The only advisory noted was a fitted rear child seat restricting full inspection of the adult belt anchorage, a non-mechanical issue. All preceding annual tests from 2022 through 2025 show a flawless pass with zero defects recorded, indicating consistent compliance with roadworthiness standards and no recurring mechanical or structural faults. Mileage accumulation is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,761 miles annually. The recorded increments are steady and logical: from 25,133 miles in January 2022 to 36,173 in January 2025, reaching 38,091 by January 2026. This pattern suggests regular but light use rather than sporadic or prolonged periods of inactivity. Such low annual mileage generally reduces wear on drivetrain components and consumables like brake pads, though it can increase the risk of age-related deterioration in rubber components, tyres, and fluids. A buyer should conduct a focused in-person inspection on components prone to age-related degradation rather than high-mileage wear. Examine all tyres, including the spare, for sidewall cracking or perishing, as low annual mileage does not preclude age damage. Inspect brake discs for surface corrosion and suspension bushes for deterioration, particularly if the vehicle has stood unused. Verify the rear seat belt anchorage functions correctly after any child seat removal. Given the clean history, the primary concern is latent corrosion on underbody structural elements or exhaust components, which an MOT may not always detect in early stages. A thorough test drive is essential to check for any binding or uneven brake action.
