2017 Renault Kadjar 1.5L Diesel · FV67 GVP

The vehicle presents a generally stable maintenance profile, though the most recent MOT history indicates a minor lapse in consumable maintenance. While the February 2026 test initially resulted in a failure due to rear brake pads measuring less than 1.5mm, the vehicle passed immediately following the necessary repairs. This single failure breaks a consistent streak of clean passes seen between 2023 and 2025, suggesting that while the vehicle is well-maintained, basic wear items like brake pads are now reaching the end of their service life. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with a typical domestic usage pattern for a nine-year-old vehicle. The car has covered 68,839 miles, averaging approximately 7,649 miles per year. The data shows steady progression, moving from 31,294 miles in November 2020 to 59,949 miles in February 2025, and finally reaching 68,839 miles in February 2026. This steady climb suggests regular use rather than long periods of inactivity, which helps mitigate risks associated with seized components or perished seals often found in low-mileage, stationary vehicles. A physical inspection should focus on the braking system and tyre condition. The failure in February 2026 highlights that the rear brakes require monitoring, so a buyer should check the remaining thickness of the discs and the condition of the calipers to ensure no binding is present. The March 2022 test flagged cracking or perishing on both rear tyres, which, while resolved at the time, indicates that rubber components may age faster than the tread wears down. Checking the sidewalls of all four tyres for similar signs of perishing is advisable. Beyond these consumables, the lack of advisories regarding suspension bushes, coil springs, or structural corrosion over the last several years is a positive indicator of the vehicle's underlying integrity. The 2020 entry regarding a child seat obstructing the inspection was a procedural issue rather than a mechanical fault. Overall, the record suggests a vehicle that has been kept in a good state of repair with predictable maintenance requirements.
