2015 Renault Kadjar 1.5L Diesel · FV65 BYB

The Renault Kadjar presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 15 September 2025 at 65,652 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the prior pass on 16 December 2024 at 60,362 miles also showed a clean sheet. The only blemish is a failed test logged on 16 December 2024 at 60,361 miles, which the DVSA record lists with no defects recorded; this suggests an administrative or presentational failure rather than a mechanical fault, and the vehicle was retested and passed the same day at one mile more. No advisories for suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions appear across the five-year span. Recorded mileage sits low for an 11-year-old vehicle. The Kadjar covered 49,098 miles by 21 November 2022, rose to 53,833 by 15 November 2023, then 60,362 by December 2024, reaching 65,652 in September 2025. That averages roughly 5,968 miles per year. The jump from 53,833 to 60,362 between November 2023 and December 2024 shows the largest single-year gain, yet remains modest. Sparse entries and zero advisories mean the record gives little insight into consumable wear cycles, though low use can mask perished seals or standing corrosion. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection beneath the car. The clean MOT history does not rule out early structural rust on sills or subframes, nor worn coil springs or binding calipers that a short test might miss on a lightly used example. Check tyre sidewalls for cracking from age rather than tread wear, and verify brake disc condition given the low annual mileage. Given the absence of recorded faults, previous keepers appear to have maintained basic statutory compliance. The same-day failure and pass in December 2024 hints at a paperwork or identification issue at the testing station, not deferred maintenance. Treat the Kadjar as mechanically sound on paper, but confirm underside integrity before purchase.
