2018 Renault Kadjar Dynamique NAV DCI 1.5L Heavy oil · HN18 ABK

The most recent MOT test on 25 October 2025 confirms this Renault Kadjar remains roadworthy with no defects recorded at 87,650 miles. The consistent pass history—without advisories or failures—suggests a stable maintenance trend over the past three tests, though the 18-month gap between the 2023 and 2025 tests is unusually long. No recurring issues have been flagged, which implies either diligent servicing or a vehicle that has not yet reached critical wear thresholds for its age. The mileage progression shows steady usage, averaging around 10,956 miles annually, which aligns with typical expectations for a vehicle of this age. The recorded mileage at each test—56,509 in September 2022, 75,021 in October 2023, and 87,650 in October 2025—indicates no abrupt spikes or prolonged periods of inactivity. While the 18-month gap between MOTs is non-standard, it does not inherently signal neglect unless combined with other red flags, which are absent here. Given the lack of advisories or defects in the MOT history, a buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of high-wear components that often go unnoticed without professional scrutiny. Particular attention should be given to the suspension system—coil springs, bushes, and dampers—given the vehicle’s age and mileage, as these are prone to gradual degradation. The braking system, including rear caliper binding (a common issue on this model) and front/rear brake discs, should be checked for uneven wear or corrosion, especially if the vehicle has experienced wet or salted roads. Structural integrity, particularly around wheel arches, sills, and the rear subframe, warrants inspection for corrosion, as diesel models are susceptible to rust in these areas. Finally, the exhaust system should be examined for leaks or excessive corrosion, particularly around the catalytic converter and oxygen sensors, which can fail without prior warning.
