2016 Renault Kadjar 1.5L Diesel · EJ16 ABF

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness, maintaining a consistent record of clean passes over the last five years. The most recent inspection on 28 April 2025 at 49,619 miles resulted in a pass with zero defects or advisories. This stable trend suggests that the previous owners maintained the Kadjar to a standard that prevented mechanical or structural components from reaching a point of failure between annual tests. The mileage profile is notably low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,000 miles per year. Between the 2021 test at 28,211 miles and the 2025 test at 49,619 miles, the car covered 21,408 miles, indicating consistent but light-intensity usage. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, the infrequent nature of the trips can sometimes lead to the age-related degradation of rubber components or brake hardware if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. Because the MOT history shows no recurring faults, a physical inspection should focus on components susceptible to low-mileage neglect. A buyer should check for cracking or sidewalling on suspension bushes and wiper blades, which can perish from age rather than distance. The braking system is worth examining for surface rust on discs or seized calipers, as low-frequency use can prevent the hardware from cleaning itself effectively. The absence of structural advisories in the record suggests the chassis remains free from significant corrosion for now.
