2002 Renault Kangoo 1.4L Petrol · HD02 AEB

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on its consistent history of clean MOT results. The most recent test on March 3, 2023 at 93,781 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following an anomalous failure on the same day that listed no specific faults. This suggests a minor administrative or technical glitch that was rectified immediately, with the vehicle maintaining its mechanical and structural integrity over the last three years. The mileage pattern is notably low for a 24-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,900 miles per year. There is a visible gap in usage between July 2020 at 63,734 miles and February 2021 at 65,040 miles, where the vehicle covered only 1,306 miles in seven months. However, the mileage added 27,000 miles by the March 2023 test. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, long periods of standing can lead to the degradation of rubber-based components and fluid breakdown. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the chassis and suspension, as Renault Kangoos of this era are prone to corrosion on the sills and rear mounting points. Given the low annual mileage, check for signs of perished rubber bushes, cracked hoses, and tyres that show age cracking rather than tread wear. Examine the braking system for seized calipers or leaking pistons, as vehicles that sit frequently often suffer from surface rust on discs and degraded brake lines.
