2017 Renault Kadjar 1.2L Petrol · EU67 XLC

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a concerning trend of reactive rather than proactive care. While the most recent test in July 2025 at 42,119 miles passed, the tester flagged multiple significant issues including all four tyres being worn to the legal limit and showing signs of perishing. This suggests that the owner delays replacing consumable components until they reach a point of failure, which can mask underlying long-term neglect of the vehicle. The mileage profile is notably low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,680 miles per year. There is a significant gap of nearly 9,000 miles between August 2023 and July 2024, followed by another 4,800 miles in the subsequent year. While low annual mileage generally implies less mechanical wear on the engine and gearbox, it often leads to degradation of rubber-based components. The cracking and perishing noted in 2025 are direct consequences of the vehicle sitting for long periods without regular use. A buyer must inspect the suspension geometry and alignment specifically, as the recurring reports of tyres worn on the edges in both 2023 and 2025 point to persistent tracking issues or worn suspension bushes. The brake system also requires attention; the pitted and scored rear inner discs recorded in 2022 at 21,429 miles are common in low-mileage cars where moisture causes corrosion on unused surfaces. A physical inspection should check for binding calipers and verify the current condition of all four tyres, as the previous set was already at the end of its functional life.
