2016 Renault Kadjar 1.5L Diesel · HT16 CZV

The Renault Kadjar presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 7 August 2025 at 22,224 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, following an anomalous failure on the same date and mileage that listed no defects, likely an administrative reversal rather than a mechanical fault. Prior tests in July 2024 at 20,829 miles, June 2023 at 19,579 miles, and June 2022 at 18,040 miles all passed cleanly with no advisories, showing consistent mechanical condition across the record. The mileage pattern reflects exceptionally low use for a 2016 vehicle, averaging roughly 2,222 miles per year. From the June 2022 test at 18,040 miles to the August 2025 test at 22,224 miles, the car covered only 4,184 miles over three years. Such limited annual accumulation suggests extended standing periods, which can allow corrosion to develop on brake discs, suspension bushes, and underbody structures even where the MOT shows no active defects. A buyer should physically inspect the front and rear brake calipers for binding or seizure caused by disuse, and check coil springs and suspension arms for rust or perishing rubber. The exhaust system and subframes warrant close examination for structural corrosion, given the car's low mileage and likely outdoor storage. No recurring faults, advisories, or consumable wear items appear in the official history, so the previous owner maintained basic test compliance. The clean record combined with low mileage implies light but not necessarily thorough upkeep, and a pre-purchase inspection remains advisable to confirm hidden standing-related degradation.
