2011 Renault Kangoo 1.5L Diesel · GF61 EYS

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on June 1, 2026, at 106,287 miles. The maintenance trend shows signs of improvement following a significant failure in June 2025. While the most recent test indicates no mechanical defects, the history reveals a pattern of reactive maintenance where faults are only addressed after failing an MOT. The current advisory only notes an inoperative nearside registration plate lamp, which is a minor electrical fault that does not impact the mechanical integrity of the vehicle. At 15 years old, the recorded 106,287 miles represent an annual average of approximately 7,100 miles, which is consistent with typical light commercial usage of this age. The data shows a steady progression of use, with 16,426 miles covered between April 2024 and June 2025, and another 14,790 miles between June 2025 and June 2026. This consistent mileage suggests the vehicle is used regularly, which generally helps prevent the seal degradation often associated with long periods of standing. A buyer must perform a close inspection of the front suspension and braking system, as these areas have shown recurring issues. The June 2025 failure identified a serious offside front shock absorber leak and a worn nearside front ball joint, alongside thin rear pads and pitted discs. Furthermore, the 2024 record noted fluctuating offside brakes and a corroded rear brake hose. The buyer should verify that the shock absorbers have been replaced with quality components and check the CV boots for signs of grease leakage, as a split boot previously caused a failure.
