2016 Renault Kadjar 1.5L Diesel · FP16 XTN

The 2016 Renault Kadjar presents a stable maintenance trend based on its MOT record, passing its most recent test on 30 July 2025 at 93,796 miles with zero defects recorded. Two failed tests appear in the history at identical mileage points, yet the absence of recorded defects on those occasions suggests administrative anomalies or rectified minor issues rather than serious mechanical failures. The vehicle met all roadworthiness standards at its last inspection, demonstrating a resolving pattern of compliance. The mileage accumulation tells a distinct story. Between August 2023 at 71,783 miles and August 2024 at 82,757 miles, the Kadjar covered 10,974 miles, followed by a further 11,039 miles by July 2025 at 93,796 miles. This consistent annual accumulation of roughly 11,000 miles indicates typical, regular use up until last summer. However, the recorded mileage has remained entirely stagnant at 93,796 miles for the past twelve months. Such a prolonged period of inactivity introduces specific risks, including flat-spotted brake discs, perished tyre sidewalls, and seized suspension components, which the recent MOT cannot fully guarantee against today. Given the year-long stagnation, a physical inspection must focus on the effects of standing idle. Check the brake discs for lipping and uneven wear, and inspect the tyres for cracking or deformation from remaining stationary under load. Examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for deterioration, as rubber components degrade faster when inactive. Look closely at the exhaust system and underbody for accelerated corrosion, which can compromise structural integrity over time. While the MOT record shows no recurring mechanical faults, the current mileage stasis demands a thorough assessment of these static deterioration risks before purchase.
