2011 Renault Kangoo 1.6L Petrol · GX61 OKW

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 2024‑11‑19 at 85,523 miles with no defects recorded, confirming current roadworthiness. The immediate retest on 2023‑12‑05 at 76,887 miles had failed, but the follow‑up pass shows an improving maintenance trend as the identified faults were rectified. Mileage accumulates at roughly 5,702 miles per year over the car’s 15‑year life, a low figure that points to light use or extended storage periods. MOT entries are spaced annually with occasional same‑day retests, giving a fairly continuous record without significant gaps. Recurring faults include rear direction indicators showing incorrect colour, a non‑functioning windscreen washer, a rear registration plate lamp that does not illuminate, a fractured rear coil spring, a boot lid that will not secure, uneven tyre tread, headlamp aim deviations, inoperative stop lamps and ineffective wipers. A buyer should test the rear lighting circuit, verify direction indicator colour, operate the washer, inspect the coil spring for cracks, check the boot latch, measure tyre tread depth, align headlamps, and confirm stop lamp and wiper operation. A visual inspection of suspension bushes and brake components for corrosion or wear is also advised. The 2022 failures of the rear coil spring and boot lid security highlight potential suspension and body integrity issues that may not be visible during a static check. The buyer should look for rust around the rear chassis, inspect exhaust mounting points, and examine brake discs and calipers for uneven wear. A professional assessment of rear suspension geometry and the boot latch mechanism is recommended before purchase.
