2011 Renault Kangoo 1.6L Petrol · GF61 CZP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive repairs rather than preventative care. While it passed the most recent test in June 2025 at 86,110 miles, the failure report just days prior indicates a significant accumulation of mechanical neglect across the steering, braking, and suspension systems. The transition from a multi-point failure to a pass suggests the immediate faults were addressed, but the recurring issues suggest the owner only services the vehicle when forced by an MOT tester failure. At 86,110 miles over 15 years, the Kangoo has averaged approximately 5,740 miles per year. This low annual mileage for a commercial vehicle of this age often leads to accelerated degradation of rubber components and seals. The record shows a gap of roughly 6,000 miles between July 2023 and June 2024, followed by another 5,400 miles leading up to the major failure in June 2025. This consistent low-use pattern explains the persistent corrosion noted on brake pipes and hoses despite the relatively low odometer figures. A buyer must inspect the steering assembly thoroughly, as the June 2025 failure flagged excessive play in both front track rod end ball joints and within the steering rack inner joints. These are critical safety components that affect vehicle handling and tyre wear. Furthermore, the braking system shows a chronic history of corrosion, with the nearside front brake pipe flagged in 2024 and 2025, and the offside rear brake pipe failing in 2023. The buyer should check for fluid weeping around these affected lines and ensure the recent repairs to the rear brake pads and discs were executed properly rather than just cleaned.
