2017 Renault Kadjar 1.2L Petrol · EU67 XOG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a period of instability followed by recent rectification. The most recent test in February 2026 at 86,004 miles passed with only a minor failure regarding an inoperative offside registration plate lamp. This follows a significant setback in February 2024 where the car failed due to multiple serious mechanical and electrical issues. The subsequent pass in 2025 suggests the owner addressed the critical defects identified during that failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,500 miles per year. Between February 2023 at 51,068 miles and February 2025 at 71,921 miles, the car covered over 20,000 miles, indicating higher annual use. The later interval of 14,083 miles between the February 2025 and February 2026 tests shows a return to lower usage levels. This level of mileage typically puts standard wear on suspension components and braking systems without suggesting extreme strain on the drivetrain. A buyer should focus closely on the exhaust system, as the major leak recorded in February 2024 indicates a significant component failure that would have required replacement. The failure to complete emissions during that same test often points to sensor issues or a catalytic converter fault which should be verified to ensure the engine is operating efficiently. Additionally, the recurring nature of the offside registration lamp failure across 2024 and 2026 suggests a lack of attention to minor electrical checks between annual tests. The windscreen damage noted in early 2024 should be inspected again to ensure the crack has not progressed or compromised the structural integrity of the glass. While the record lacks advisories for structural corrosion or suspension bushing wear, a physical inspection of the undercarriage and brake discs is necessary given the vehicle's age and the 86,000-mile threshold. The history indicates a vehicle that is capable of passing tests provided the previously identified mechanical faults were fully addressed.
