2019 Renault Kadjar 1.3L Petrol · EU19 WCV

The most recent MOT on 2026-05-27 shows the vehicle passed with two minor tyre issues: nearside and offside rear tyres showing slight damage or perishing. These were also noted in the 2025-05-29 MOT, indicating a recurring tyre-related concern. The prior MOT on 2026-05-22, just five days earlier, resulted in a failure due to critical front tyre cuts, rear tyre damage, an insecure battery, and a faulty windscreen wiper. This rapid succession of failures and passes suggests inconsistent maintenance or unresolved underlying issues. The pattern of tyre damage—cuts on front tyres and perishing on rear tyres—repeats across multiple MOTs. The front tyre cuts (5.2.3 (d) (i)) are more severe, as they expose the ply or cords, posing a safety risk. The rear tyre perishing (5.2.3 (d) (ii)) is less critical but indicates aging rubber. These issues may stem from improper inflation, alignment problems, or exposure to harsh conditions. The 2026-05-22 failure also highlighted an insecure battery, which could signal loose mounting or corrosion, and a windscreen wiper that fails to clear the glass, affecting visibility. The trend shows worsening conditions.
