2018 Renault Kadjar 1.2L Petrol · HN18 KBY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a recurring pattern of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. In the most recent test in May 2026 at 64,494 miles, the car passed despite an advisory for a non-excessive oil leak and a worn offside front suspension arm bush. While the vehicle meets minimum safety standards, the presence ofion wear and immediate tyre issues suggests that components are only addressed once they迫 failure or legal limits rather than on a scheduled regimen. At 64,494 miles over eight years, the vehicle has averaged approximately 8,060 miles per year, which is consistent with typical light-duty usage. The data progression shows a steady accumulation of miles, with roughly 9,000 to 9,600 miles driven between each annual inspection from 2023 to 2026. This consistent usage suggests the drivetrain has not been subjected to extreme stress, but the low annual mileage relative to its age does not exempt it from the age-related degradation of rubber-based components. A buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension, specifically checking the offside control arm bushes which were flagged in 2026. The recurring oil leak noted in the latest report requires a close look to determine if it is a simple way cover seal or a more significant gasket-related issue. Furthermore, the history of frequent issues with uneven tyre wear and depth across multiple years (2023, 2024, and 2026) indicates a potential alignment problem or worn suspension geometry components that should be verified to ensure the vehicle is not causing premature scrubbing of new tyres.
