2018 Renault Kangoo Electricity · HN67 XGL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a consistent pattern of neglected consumables and reactive repairs. The most recent test in January 2026 at 12,520 miles identified multiple issues including a worn rear tyre, pitted brake discs, and a binding rear caliper. While the vehicle passed, the recurring nature of these faults across several years suggests that the owner only addresses defects when they trigger an MOT failure rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eight-year-old van, averaging only 1,565 miles per year. There is a significant gap of over 2,600 miles between the October 2022 test at 4,387 miles and the October 2023 test at 7,020 miles. Such low usage often leads to secondary degradation of rubber-based components. This is evidenced by the 2022 report of perishing tread and the 2023 failure for cracked tyres, indicating the vehicle likely sat for long periods between intervals of use. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the rear braking system and suspension geometry. The record shows persistent rear brake disc pitting and scoring dating back to 2023, with a binding caliper reported in early 2026. This suggests the caliper pistons may be seizing due to lack of use. Furthermore, the repeated reports of tyres wearing on edges in 2022, 2024, and 2026 indicate a persistent alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that have never been rectified. Check the washer system and fluid levels, as the history shows a clear tendency toward ignoring basic mechanical checks.
