2019 Renault Kadjar 1.3L Petrol · FH68 FEP

The 2019 Renault Kadjar presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 12 September 2025 at 57,270 miles with zero defects recorded. This recent test confirms the vehicle currently meets all UK roadworthiness standards without any advisories or mechanical faults. The maintenance trajectory appears highly consistent, indicating the previous owner addressed any historical issues promptly and maintained the car to a reliable standard leading up to the present day. The annual mileage accumulation sits at approximately 8,181 miles per year, which aligns perfectly with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. Analysing the chronological data, the car covered 14,829 miles between the September 2022 test at 26,488 miles and the August 2023 test at 41,316 miles. This dropped to 9,461 miles over the following twelve months, reaching 50,777 miles by August 2024. Recent usage has slowed considerably, with only 6,493 miles accrued in the nearly twelve months since the last test, suggesting a shift toward shorter, local journeys or reduced ownership use. Despite the entirely clean MOT record, a pre-purchase inspection must go beyond the scope of the annual test. The anomaly of a failed test on 30 August 2023 at 41,316 miles—recorded with zero defects—suggests an aborted test or an administrative failure rather than a mechanical breakdown, though verifying the exact cause with the seller remains prudent. Since no recurring faults or structural advisories appear in the history, buyers should not assume underlying components are immune to age-related degradation. Given the recent drop in annual mileage, buyers should physically inspect the brake discs and calipers for surface corrosion caused by prolonged standing or short trips that fail to burn off rust. Suspension bushes and exhaust components require a hands-on check for perishing and corrosion, as the MOT only captures excessive wear or structural failure at the exact moment of testing. A thorough assessment of the clutch, gearbox, and interior wear will reveal how the previous owner actually treated the vehicle, an area the MOT entirely ignores.
