2011 Renault Kangoo 1.5L Diesel · GF60 XKT

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance history indicates a reactive approach to repairs rather than preventative care. The most recent test on 3 October 2025 at 119,518 miles resulted in a pass following an initial failure for lighting issues, specifically the stop lamp, registration lamp, and misaligned headlamps. While the owner addressed these immediate electrical faults to secure compliance, the recurring nature of lighting failures suggests basic bulb checks were neglected until the annual inspection. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 15-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per year. Between the 2024 test at 116,932 miles and the 2025 test at 119,518 miles, the vehicle covered 2,586 miles. This steady usage suggests regular operation which mitigates some of the risks associated with long periods of standing, though the overall age of the vehicle still contributes to the gradual degradation of rubber components and metalwork as noted in the record. A physical inspection should focus on the braking system and drivetrain integrity. The 2023 test flagged a corroded front brake pipe and a severely deteriorated offside front CV boot, while the 2024 record noted worn front brake discs. A buyer must verify that the brake pipe has been properly treated or replaced and ensure the new CV boot is free of grease leakage to prevent imminent drive joint failure. Given the age of the Renault, a close examination of the chassis and suspension mounting for structural corrosion is essential, as the record does not explicitly rule out rust advisories in those areas.
