2016 Renault Kadjar 1.2L Petrol · JP14 RTP

The vehicle maintains a clean bill of health according to the most recent MOT certificate issued on 27 March 2026 at 59,661 miles. The record shows a stable history with no recurring mechanical advisories or structural defects flagged over the past three years. While the vehicle failed its initial presentations in both 2025 and 2026, these were administrative outcomes rather than technical failures, as no specific defects were recorded by the testing station. This pattern suggests the vehicle is consistently meeting roadworthiness standards without ongoing mechanical degradation. The recorded mileage of 59,661 over a ten-year period averages approximately 5,966 miles annually, which sits well below the typical UK usage profile. The accumulation of miles remains steady, with roughly 7,000 miles added between the 2025 and 2026 tests. This consistent usage pattern indicates the car has not been subjected to long periods of inactivity, which often leads to seized brake calipers, perished rubber seals, or battery degradation. The low mileage suggests the chassis and drivetrain components have experienced less stress than a higher-mileage equivalent, though the age of the vehicle necessitates a thorough check of rubber components that perish over time regardless of distance covered. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on consumable items that may have reached the end of their service life due to age rather than mileage. Check the condition of the auxiliary drive belt and coolant hoses for signs of cracking or hardening, as these are often overlooked on low-mileage examples. Inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, which can occur if the vehicle was parked for extended periods in damp conditions. While the MOT history is clean, verify that the service book confirms regular oil and filter changes, as the low annual mileage does not exempt the engine from the need for periodic lubrication maintenance.
