2007 Renault Kangoo 1.5L Diesel · HY07 FPV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive repairs rather than preventative care. The most recent test in December 2025 at 119,533 miles passed with only a minor lighting defect regarding the registration plate lamp. This follows a significant failure in December 2024 where multiple critical safety and handling-related issues were identified. While the vehicle has passed its latest inspection, the recurring nature of mechanical faults suggests that components are only addressed once they reach a point of시험 failure. At 119,533 miles over 19 years, the Kangoo averages approximately 6,300 miles per year. This low usage is typical for an older commercial vehicle, suggesting it has not been subjected to heavy daily haulage. The mileage data shows consistent progression, with roughly 8,300 miles covered between the December 2024 and 2025 tests. However, the low mileage does not exempt the vehicle from age-related degradation of rubber components and metalwork, which is clearly evident in the recorded history. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the suspension and steering assembly, as corrosion to both front and rear units has been a persistent issue since 2023. The record notes play in the steering rack inner joints across multiple test years, and a fractured nearside front coil spring failed in late 2024. These issues, alongside worn lower suspension arm bushes, indicate that the front-end geometry is nearing its end. Ensure that the reported corrosion has not compromised the vehicle's structural integrity. The braking system also requires close scrutiny. The 2023 failure revealed severely weakened front brake discs and thin pads, followed by a report of a binding nearside rear service brake in 2024. Furthermore, the history shows a disregard for tyre maintenance, with multiple failures for tread depth below the legal limit and perished rubber. A prospective buyer should verify the current condition of all four tyres and test the brake surfaces to ensure the previous issues of imbalance and binding have been resolved and will not resurface soon.
