2006 Renault Kangoo 1.5L Diesel · FY06 AVT

The most recent MOT record from August 2025 shows a vehicle that has passed after multiple failures within a single month, indicating a fluctuating maintenance trend. The August 17, 2025, test resulted in a pass, but it followed a failure on August 11, 2025, and an earlier failure on August 17, 2025, for a different set of issues. The record shows recurring issues with braking components and lighting. While the most recent pass cleared a defective position lamp, the tester flagged worn and pitted front brake discs alongside thinning brake pads. The August 2025 tests also identified a severely deteriorated offside front outer drive shaft constant velocity boot. The vehicle has covered 125,363 miles over its lifespan, which averages approximately 6,268 miles per year. This usage pattern is consistent with a vehicle of its age. There is a notable gap in the recorded history between the February 2024 test and the August 2025 tests, with no mileage data provided for that period to confirm usage levels. The 2024 test at an unspecified mileage showed advisories for tyre wear and deteriorating registration plates, suggesting a pattern of addressing consumables only when they approach legal or functional limits. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front braking system, specifically checking the thickness of the pads and the surface condition of the discs to ensure the August 2025 advisories have been addressed. The recurring advisories for anti-roll bar bushes and pins, first noted in February 2021 and appearing again in August 2025, suggest ongoing wear in the suspension components. The deterioration of the offside front CV boot requires verification that a replacement has been fitted to prevent drive shaft failure. Attention must also be paid to the condition of the seat belt webbing. The August 2025 failure for a significantly weakened and cut central rear seat belt indicates that interior safety components have reached the end of their service life. Furthermore, the history of tyre advisories regarding cracking and perishing across 2021, 2022, and 2024 suggests that rubber components may be aging due to time rather than just mileage. Checking the integrity of all suspension ball joints and track rod ends is necessary following the major failures recorded in February 2024. buying_score: 42 risk_level: High.
