2018 Renault Kadjar 1.2L Petrol · FM18 RHV

The Renault Kadjar presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 26 March 2026 at 23,803 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded. A failed attempt on the same date at 23,802 miles listed no defects, indicating an administrative or presentation error at the testing station rather than a mechanical fault, immediately followed by a clean pass. The vehicle shows low annual use for its 2018 build, covering roughly 2,975 miles per year. Mileage rose from 12,888 at the 1 November 2022 test to 17,448 by 23 February 2024, then 21,104 on 17 March 2025, and 23,803 by March 2026. The step from late 2022 to early 2024 reflects a longer test gap of about fifteen months, yet annual accumulation stayed consistent and modest. No rapid accumulation or missing-year anomalies appear beyond that interval. The DVSA record carries zero advisories across all five entries. That clean sheet means no flagged wear on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, exhaust emissions, or structural corrosion. A buyer should still verify in person that the low standing mileage has not concealed perished rubber components, flat-spotted tyres from prolonged storage, or mild underbody corrosion the annual test did not capture. Given the absence of recorded faults, previous owners appear to have kept basic upkeep current. The same-day fail-and-pass sequence suggests clerical mishandling rather than deferred repair. A pre-purchase inspection remains sensible to confirm fluid condition and brake binding after long idle periods, but the documentary history supports a sound mechanical baseline.
