2017 Renault Kadjar 1.2L Petrol · EO67 ENU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of deferred repairs regarding wear items. In the most recent test in April 2026 at 105,045 miles, the tester flagged thin front brake pads and a worn front suspension arm bush. While the vehicle passed the test, the presence of these defects suggests that the previous owner was allowing components to reach near-point of failure rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern is consistent with a typical high-use vehicle, averaging approximately 11,700 miles per year over the nine years since the 2017 registration. There is a significant increase in usage between October 2022 and April 2026, where the car covered over 40,000 miles in just forty months. This period of heavy use explains the accelerated wear on the braking system noted in the December 2023 test at 78,281 miles, where all four brake pads and the front discs were identified as requiring attention. A buyer should prioritize a physical inspection of the front suspension geometry, as the worn arm bush noted in 2026 can lead to steering instability and uneven tyre wear if not replaced. The braking system requires a thorough check; the history shows a recurring pattern of thin pads and pitted discs, implying that intervals between service replacements are long. Given the mileage now exceeds 100,000 miles, the inspector should also check for fluid leaks and the condition of the drivetrain to ensure the high-mileage components have not suffered from the same neglect seen with the consumables.
