Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on a consistent history of passing MOT examinations. While the most recent test in September 2025 at 74,706 miles showed an initial failure followed immediately by a pass on the same day, the lack of recorded defects on the passing certificate suggests a minor or rectified issue. Since 2022, the Kadjar has maintained a clean record without any recurring mechanical or structural failures. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical annual usage for a decade-old road vehicle, averaging approximately 7,500 miles per year. The data shows steady progression, moving from 53,581 miles in July 2022 to 74,706 miles by September 2025. This gradual accumulation suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to long periods of inactivity, which often leads to seal failures and rubber-related degradation, nor has it faced the high-frequency wear associated with high-mileage use. Given the clean MOT history, a physical inspection should focus on standard wear items and components prone to age at the 75,000-mile mark. A buyer should inspect the suspension bushes for cracking or tearing and check the condition of the coil springs for any signs of corrosion. Although the record shows no brake failures, it remains prudent to check for binding calipers and measure the thickness of the brake discs to ensure they are not nearing the end of their service life.
