2015 Renault Kadjar 1.5L Diesel · HN65 AEU

The Renault Kadjar has maintained a consistent MOT pass record across five consecutive tests, with the most recent inspection on 3 July 2025 confirming no defects at 57,532 miles. This suggests a stable roadworthiness trend over the past year, though the absence of advisories or minor faults in any test does not guarantee hidden issues. The vehicle’s compliance with emissions, brakes, and structural checks remains unremarkable, but the lack of any warnings—even for wear items like tyres or suspension—implies either rigorous maintenance or deferred attention to minor concerns. Buyers should verify whether past owners addressed any non-MOT-related issues, such as fluid top-ups or minor corrosion, as these are not recorded in the test history. The recorded mileage of 57,532 miles over approximately 11 years reflects an unusually low annual average of around 5,230 miles, well below the UK average for vehicles of this age. The consistent 12-month intervals between tests (e.g., 48,422 miles in September 2023 to 53,087 miles in September 2024) indicate minimal downtime or extended periods of inactivity, which could either preserve components or allow corrosion to develop undetected. The steady progression suggests light usage, but buyers should scrutinise whether this translates to deferred maintenance—such as neglected suspension bushes or brake pad replacements—rather than proactive care. Given the clean MOT history, priority should be given to inspecting high-wear items not routinely tested, such as the suspension’s coil springs and bushes for cracking or excessive play, particularly at the rear where binding calipers or worn shock absorbers often go unnoticed. The brakes, while passing MOT checks, may require closer examination for uneven wear or corrosion on the caliper slides, especially if the vehicle has spent prolonged periods stationary. Structural integrity should also be assessed for signs of rust penetration in wheel arches, sills, or the subframe, as low mileage does not preclude environmental damage. Finally, verify the condition of the exhaust system for leaks or sagging supports, as these are common failure points in older Renault models.
