2017 Renault Koleos 2.0L Diesel · EU67 XLR

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history shows a worsening trend regarding suspension and tyre condition. While it passed its most recent test in September 2025 at 73,351 miles, this followed a failure just five days prior due to multiple mechanical defects. The tester identified excessively worn offside front lower suspension arm bushes, a worn offside front wheel bearing, and a nearside front ball joint. These failures indicate that the front suspension geometry is reaching the end of its functional life simultaneously. At 73,351 miles over nine years, the Renault Koleos averages approximately 8,150 miles per year, which aligns with typical national averages for a family SUV. The record shows consistent mileage accumulation, with roughly 9,000 miles driven between the 2023 and 2024 tests and another 8,800 miles between August 2024 and September 2025. This steady usage suggests the vehicle is used regularly rather than sitting for long periods, which helps prevent seal-related degradation. A buyer must physically inspect the front suspension for further play or audible knocks, as the steering rack inner joints were previously flagged for play in 2024. The recurring issues with uneven tyre wear, specifically the bald outer edges and inner edge wear noted in 2024 and 2025, suggest a persistent alignment problem or worn tracking components. Additionally, the history of thin rear brake pads from 2022 necessitates a thorough check of the current braking friction material to ensure they are not nearing immediate replacement.
