2018 Renault Kadjar 1.5L Diesel · FY18 AFO

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent pass rate across five consecutive years. The most recent test on 24 October 2025 at 102,615 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This indicates the car currently meets the minimum legal safety and environmental standards. Mileage accumulation is high for an eight year old vehicle, averaging roughly 12,827 miles per year. The distance covered increased significantly in the final year of the record, jumping from 82,130 miles in October 2024 to 102,615 miles by October 2025. This surge of over 20,000 miles in twelve months suggests a period of heavy usage or long distance commuting. The absence of any recorded defects or advisories since September 2021 is unusual for a high mileage vehicle. Typically, cars exceeding 100,000 miles show wear in the form of worn suspension bushes, thinning brake discs, or tyre tread warnings. The clean record implies either a rigorous preventative maintenance regime by the previous owner or a very lenient testing history. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on high wear components that the MOT record does not explicitly detail. Check for oil leaks around the engine seals and inspect the condition of the gearbox and clutch, as the high mileage puts more stress on the drivetrain. Verify the depth of the tyre treads and the thickness of the brake pads to ensure they have not reached their limit shortly after the last test.
