2017 Renault Kadjar 1.2L Petrol · HT17 HNK

The 2017 Renault Kadjar has demonstrated a consistent roadworthiness record over the past five test cycles, with the most recent examination on 2025-07-18 confirming no defects despite a duplicate entry—an administrative anomaly rather than a mechanical issue. The vehicle passed all prior tests without advisories or failures, suggesting the tester did not identify any recurring or latent faults during standard MOT checks. However, the lack of advisories in any test does not preclude hidden wear, particularly in components like suspension bushes or drivetrain joints, which often fail between MOT intervals. Mileage progression indicates typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging around 6,600 miles annually. The recorded mileage increased steadily from 45,887 miles in July 2022 to 59,666 miles in July 2025, with no extended periods of inactivity or rapid accumulation. The consistent annual mileage suggests the vehicle was driven regularly rather than stored, which would have accelerated wear on items like brake pads, tyres, and fluid systems. That said, the absence of advisories on brake efficiency or tyre condition in any test implies these areas were likely maintained within acceptable limits during ownership. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of suspension components, particularly the rear axle and bushings, as these are common failure points in Renault Kadjars of this era. The lack of advisories does not rule out degraded coil springs or worn stabiliser links, which may not trigger a fail but could compromise handling. Brake discs and calipers should also be scrutinised for uneven wear or binding, as these issues often develop incrementally. Structural corrosion, particularly around wheel arches and sills, warrants close examination, especially if the vehicle has experienced wet or salty conditions. Fluid levels—brakes, power steering, and engine oil—should be checked for leaks or contamination, as these are not routinely tested during an MOT. Finally, the dual-pass entry in 2025 warrants confirmation that the vehicle was not previously failed for a non-recorded defect, such as a minor lighting or horn issue.
