2006 Renault Kangoo 1.5L Diesel · FM06 OEN

The Kangoo passed its most recent MOT on 1 February 2024 at 171,599 miles with no defects recorded, leaving it currently roadworthy on paper. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the test history shows a recurring pattern of same-day fail-and-pass cycles that point to administrative or minor pre-test corrections rather than progressive mechanical decline. Mileage sat at 163,613 in November 2021, rose to 167,600 by January 2023, and reached 171,599 by February 2024. That works out to roughly 4,000 miles a year across the recorded span, well below the 8,580 annual average for a 2006 vehicle. The sparse record shows a 13-month gap between the 2021 and 2023 tests and no entries for 2022, suggesting limited use or lapsed testing discipline by prior keepers. The 31 January 2024 failure at 171,598 miles and the 24 January 2023 failure at 167,600 miles both listed no defects, meaning the tester raised no advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions. A buyer should still inspect structural integrity and consumable wear in person. At 20 years old and 171,599 miles, expect aged coil springs, tired dampers, and possible underbody rust even where the MOT stayed clean. The repeated fail-with-no-defect entries imply the van was presented without valid certification or with paperwork issues, not with broken components. Previous owners likely used the Kangoo lightly but irregularly. Verify service history and check for binding calipers or worn tyres that a no-advisory test might miss on a low-mileage older commercial vehicle.
