2018 Renault Kangoo Electric · HN67 XGD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive repairs rather than proactive care. While the most recent test in February 2026 at 11,834 miles passed, it highlighted recurring issues with seat belt webbing on both front seats. This follows a failure in January 2026 just a few miles prior, where the tester flagged a non-functional horn, split wipers, and an insecure washer system. The trend suggests the owner only addresses mechanical faults when they result in an MOT failure. The mileage is exceptionally low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging only 1,479 miles per year. This low usage is evident in the significant gaps between tests, such as the 1,103 miles driven between December 2023 and December 2024. While this reduces general wear on the engine and drivetrain, it directly correlates with the degradation of rubber-based components. The repeated advisories for tyre cracking and per across 2023 and 2024 indicate that the vehicle likely sits for long periods, causing the sidewall dry rot despite high tread depth. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of all rubber components and fluid systems. The fuel system leak noted in December 2023 requires a close look to ensure no secondary leaks remain, as low use leads to perished hoses. Given the recurring seat belt damage, the locking mechanisms should be checked for integrity, as they represent a persistent safety risk. Additionally, the buyer should inspect the brake discs for corrosion and suspension bushings, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from seized calipers and accelerated surface rust due to lack of use.
