2020 Renault Kadjar S Edition TCE 1.3L Petrol · GD69 XWS

The most recent MOT, carried out on 27 February 2026, was passed with no recorded defects, and the two preceding examinations in February 2024 and December 2022 were likewise clean. This uninterrupted series of passes indicates a stable maintenance pattern; there is no evidence of a deteriorating condition or of recurring faults that have been left unaddressed. The vehicle appears to have been kept in a road‑worthy state over the last four years, suggesting that the owner has adhered to the basic service and inspection requirements. With a recorded 70 286 miles on a 2020 model, the average annual mileage works out at roughly 11 700 miles per year. This figure sits comfortably within the normal UK usage envelope for a compact SUV of this age. There are no large mileage gaps evident in the MOT record, implying that the car has been driven fairly consistently rather than being subject to long periods of inactivity. Consequently, wear on consumables such as tyres, brake pads and discs, and suspension components will be in line with expectations for a vehicle of this mileage and age. For a prospective buyer the primary focus should be on age‑related checks rather than mileage‑driven wear. Inspect the tyre sidewalls for cracking, dry rot or hardening, and verify that the tread depth is at least 1.6 mm across the width, with even wear patterns that would rule out mis‑alignment. Examine the 12‑volt battery terminals for corrosion and, if possible, have the cranking voltage measured; a battery older than three years may be nearing the end of its service life. Assess the brake discs for surface rust or scoring and ensure the pads have sufficient remaining material; any shudder or pulsation when applying the brakes on a test drive would indicate disc wear or uneven pad deposition. Check the suspension for any play in the front and rear bushes, and listen for clunking over bumps that could signal worn coil springs or deteriorated bushings. Given the vehicle’s six‑year age, time‑based maintenance should be verified. Confirm that the engine oil and filter have been changed within the last 10 000 miles or twelve months, whichever is sooner, and that the coolant, brake fluid and power‑steering fluid have been refreshed according to the manufacturer’s interval – typically every two to three years. Look for any signs of fluid leaks around the oil pan, coolant hoses and the rear‑axle seal, and inspect the under‑carriage for corrosion, especially in the wheel arches and suspension mounting points. A thorough visual review of the exhaust system for rusted or cracked sections, and a check that the emission control components (such as the EGR valve and catalytic converter) are free of abnormal noises, will round out a comprehensive pre‑purchase appraisal.
