2011 Renault Kangoo 1.5L Diesel · HV11 BYF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a reactive service pattern rather than preventative care. While the most recent test in November 2025 at 128,936 miles resulted in a pass, it followed a significant failure that highlighted multiple mechanical deficiencies. The trend shows that components are only addressed once they reach the point of 시험 failure. The persistent presence of a non-excessive oil leak across the last three annual tests indicates a long-term weeping that has not yet been sealed or rectified by previous owners. At 128,936 miles over 15 years, the vehicle averages approximately 8,600 miles per year, which is consistent with typical light-to-medium usage. The data shows steady progression, with roughly 3,000 miles covered between the November 2024 and November 2025 tests, and another 2,000 miles between December 2023 and November 2024. This consistent accumulation suggests the vehicle is used regularly, which explains the gradual wear on rubber components and braking hardware. A buyer must closely inspect the front suspension and steering assembly. The record shows a recurring issue with the nearside front track rod end, which had slight play in 2024 and failed with excessive play in late 2025. Additionally, the offside front suspension arm ball joint failed in 2024, so a physical check for play in all steering joints is essential. The CV boots on both front drive shafts were flagged as split in 2024; these should be inspected for grease leakage or internal joint damage to prevent imminent drivetrain failure. The braking system also requires attention. The November 2025 failure noted thin front brake pads and pitted discs, alongside binding rear brakes that only just met imbalance requirements. This suggests the rear calipers may be seizing or the braking mechanism needs adjustment. Given that the front tyres were also flagged as worn close to the legal limit in the most recent test, the buyer should verify the remaining tread depth and check for uneven wear patterns that would indicate alignment issues or worn suspension bushes.
