2019 Renault Kadjar 1.3L Petrol · HT19 OBN

The most recent MOT on 2026-05-22 recorded multiple defects despite the vehicle having the same mileage (103,293 miles) as the prior failed test on 2026-05-18. Brake pads on both front and rear wheels were wearing thin, with front pads below 1.5 mm in the failed test. Tyres on both front wheels were worn close to legal limits, and the nearside rear tyre pressure monitoring system was inoperative. These issues suggest ongoing wear and potential neglect in addressing critical safety components. The recurring brake pad defects indicate a pattern of accelerated wear, likely linked to the vehicle’s high mileage of 103,293 miles over seven years (14,756 miles annually). This rate exceeds typical usage, increasing stress on consumables like brakes and tyres. The nearside rear shock absorber’s serious fluid leak in the failed test highlights a mechanical risk requiring immediate repair. However, no evidence of repairs or improvements is shown in the subsequent pass, raising concerns about unresolved issues. The MOT history shows a sharp decline from previously clean tests in 2024 and 2025. The sudden emergence of multiple defects in 2026 suggests a worsening condition, possibly due to heavy use or deferred maintenance.
