2020 Renault Kadjar 1.3L Petrol · GY20 BYV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, holding a valid MOT issued on 2026‑06‑05 at 38,570 miles. The latest test passed but recorded three advisories: front brake disc worn (1.1.14 (a)(i)), front brake pads thin (1.1.13 (a)(ii)) and an offside rear tyre slightly damaged/cracking (5.2.3 (d)(ii)). No fail items remain, yet the pattern of advisories shows that wear on the braking system and tyres persists. Mileage progression follows a fairly regular curve. The first recorded test was on 2023‑05‑26 at 20,460 miles. By 2024‑06‑07 the odometer read 27,620 miles, an increase of 7,160 miles over roughly 13 months. The next interval to 2025‑05‑23 added 6,515 miles in about 11 months, and the most recent gap to 2026‑06‑05 added 4,435 miles over roughly 12 months. The average annual mileage of 6,428 miles is typical for a six‑year‑old Kadjar, and the spacing of tests indicates consistent MOT compliance rather than extended gaps. A prospective buyer should focus on the recurring mechanical concerns. The front brake discs and pads have been flagged on multiple tests, suggesting they are approaching replacement intervals; a hands‑on check of disc thickness and pad condition is essential. Tyre condition is another priority: the offside rear tyre shows perishing, while both front tyres were recorded as worn to the edge (5.2.3 (e)). Visual inspection for uneven wear, depth, and any cracking will reveal whether a tyre replacement is imminent. The near‑side front wheel was noted as slightly distorted (5.2.2 (c)(i)), which may indicate suspension or hub bearing wear; a ride‑height and wheel‑bearing audit is advisable. Historical headlamp aim failures (both high and low) suggest the lighting alignment system may need periodic adjustment, so a quick lamp‑aim check should be performed. Finally, despite no corrosion codes appearing, a thorough under‑body scan for rust, especially around wheel arches and the exhaust mount, will confirm structural integrity.
