2001 Renault Kangoo 1.9L Diesel · EO51 MPV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, though the lack of recent testing is a concern. The last recorded test on July 20 2022 at 116,282 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following an immediate re-test on the same day. Since no tests have been logged for nearly four years, the vehicle is currently operating without a valid MOT certificate, and the current state of its mechanical and structural components remains unverified and outdated. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a twenty-five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,650 miles per year. Between April 2018 and July 2022, the vehicle covered only 2,509 miles, moving from 113,773 to 116,282 miles. This suggests the van was either used infrequently or sat stationary for long periods. While low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, long periods of inactivity often lead to seized components, perished rubber seals, and corrosion on braking surfaces. A physical inspection must focus on the structural integrity of the chassis, particularly around the sills and wheel arches, where age and moisture cause significant rust. Because the vehicle has moved so little, the buyer should check for seized brake calipers and perished suspension bushes that degrade from lack of use. The tyres should also be examined for cracks in the sidewalls, as age-rating degradation is a risk regardless of tread depth.
