2010 Renault Kangoo 1.5L Diesel · HN60 TOJ

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance history indicates a reactive approach to repairs rather than preventative care. While the most recent test in September 2025 at 131,475 miles resulted in a pass, it revealed significant neglect regarding the drivetrain and tyres. The trend shows a recurring pattern of mechanical degradation where components are only addressed after failing or reaching a critical advisory state, suggesting the owner performs only the bare minimum required to keep the vehicle on the road. At a recorded 131,475 miles, the Kangoo averages approximately 8,200 miles per year, which is consistent with typical light commercial or domestic use for this age. The data shows steady usage, with roughly 7,000 miles covered between September 2023 and October 2024, and another 7,000 miles covered by September 2025. This consistent mileage explains the standard wear-and-tear seen on an older van, particularly regarding rubber-based suspension components and braking surfaces. A buyer must prioritise a thorough inspection of the braking system and suspension geometry. The record highlights persistent issues with the rear brake pipes across 2023 and 2024, indicating significant corrosion that may have progressed beyond the visible surface. The 2025 advisory regarding a severely deteriorated nearside outer driveshaft CV boot and a worn offside joint suggests an imminent risk of mechanical failure if the boot loses all grease. Furthermore, the previous failure of the track rod end in 2024 indicates that the front steering components are likely reaching the end of their functional life. The condition of the tyres is another area of concern, as the 2025 test flagged multiple tyres near the legal limit or showing perishing and cracking. This points to a lack of attention to basic consumables which masks the age of the vehicle. Before purchasing, the buyer should check for structural integrity on the chassis and sills, as the MOT history already shows the vehicle is prone to worsening corrosion on brake lines and metal components.
