2018 Renault Kadjar 1.2L Petrol · HG18 AFN

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status, showing an improving maintenance trend following recent mechanical failures. The most recent test in February 2026 at 33,908 miles resulted in a clean pass, indicating that the issues identified in the previous year have been addressed. This recent success suggests that the current owner is reactive to MOT advisories despite previous lapses in basic vehicle upkeep. At 33,908 miles over eight years, the Kadjar has covered significantly less than the national average, averaging approximately 4,238 miles per year. This low usage typically places less strain on the drivetrain and engine components. However, the mileage data shows a consistent annual progression, with roughly 5,000 miles driven between the 2024 and 2025 tests, and another 5,700 miles in the final interval. Such low-mileage patterns can sometimes lead to flat-spotted tyres or brake corrosion if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer should specifically inspect the condition of the tyres, as the February 2025 failure revealed multiple tyres reaching the legal limit and sustaining structural cuts to the cords. While these were likely replaced before the 2026 pass, the recurring nature of uneven wear on the edges suggests potential alignment issues or worn suspension bushes. The failure of the washer system in early 2024 is a minor consumable fault, but it highlights a history of neglecting non-essential checks until a test demands them. The record shows no evidence of structural integrity issues or recurring mechanical failures, which is positive for a Renault of this age. Focus the physical inspection on checking for fluid leaks and ensuring the brake discs are not pitted. The mechanical integrity of the vehicle appears stable based on the low mileage and the clean result of the most recent inspection.
