2019 Renault Kadjar 1.3L Petrol · HT69 FHZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive rather than proactive mechanical care. The most recent test in January 2026 at 57,239 miles identified several immediate issues including thin rear brake pads and perished rear inner tyres. While the vehicle passed, the presence of these faults shortly after previous tests suggests the owner only addresses components once they reach an imminent MOT failure threshold rather than performing routine preventative maintenance. At 57,239 miles over seven years, the Kadjar averages approximately 8,177 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage patterns for a family SUV. There is a notable gap in records between November 2023 (36,398 miles) and January 2025 (47,932 miles), where the vehicle covered over 11,000 miles in just fourteen months. Since then, usage has stabilized at roughly 9,300 miles per year, indicating a consistent but moderate driving profile that explains the standard wear on rubber and braking components. A buyer should scrutinise the front suspension and alignment geometry. The record shows a recurring pattern of uneven tyre wear, with the 2022 and 2025 tests both flagging nearside front tyres as bald on the inner edges. This suggests a persistent tracking issue or worn suspension bushes and ball joints that have not been properly rectified. Additionally, the repeated failure of the registration plate lamp across two different years indicates a lack of attention to minor electrical checks. A thorough physical inspection of the rear braking system is also required to ensure the thin pads noted in January 2026 have not caused damage to the discs.
