2016 Renault Kadjar 1.5L Diesel · HT16 CYX

The 2016 Renault Kadjar demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, with its most recent MOT test on 17 April 2025 resulting in a pass at 99,513 miles with no defects recorded. This follows a failed test just three days earlier at 99,485 miles, which also showed no defects. The rapid resolution of the failure suggests prompt attention to any minor issues, reinforcing the vehicle’s current compliance with safety standards. The absence of recurring faults or advisories in the passing tests indicates no systemic mechanical decline. Mileage progression aligns closely with typical usage for a decade-old vehicle. Between the 2023 and 2024 tests, the odometer rose from 79,511 to 91,049 miles over 12 months, averaging 11,538 miles annually. A subsequent increase to 99,513 miles occurred over 11 months, reflecting consistent but moderate use. The gap between the 2024 and 2025 tests spans 11 months, with mileage accumulating steadily. No abrupt jumps or prolonged periods of inactivity suggest regular operation rather than extended storage, though the two consecutive failures in 2024 and 2025 warrant scrutiny of maintenance responsiveness. Prospective buyers should verify brake system integrity, particularly disc thickness and caliper function, given the proximity of the April 2025 failure and pass. Suspension components, including bushes and coil springs, merit inspection for wear or corrosion, especially after 99,000 miles. The exhaust system and underbody should be checked for signs of deterioration or damage, as structural integrity remains critical for older vehicles. While the MOT history shows no major advisories, the absence of recorded defects during a failure highlights the need for a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm all systems operate within acceptable parameters.
