2019 Renault Kadjar 1.3L Petrol · K7 PLF

The most recent MOT on 23 January 2026 was passed with no recorded defects, indicating that the vehicle met the statutory safety and emissions standards at that time. Over the past four years the MOT history has been consistently clean aside from three advisories – two relating to front tyre condition and one noting that items were removed from the driver’s view before testing. These advisories are minor and do not constitute failures, so the overall maintenance trend can be described as stable, with only routine tyre wear issues emerging as the vehicle ages. At 36,869 miles recorded for a 2019 model, the car averages roughly 5,300 miles per year, which is well below the typical UK average of around 10‑12 000 miles annually. Such low utilisation often points to light, possibly intermittent usage or periods of storage. While low mileage reduces cumulative wear on drivetrain components, it can also encourage ageing‑related deterioration such as rubber perishing, battery sulphation, and corrosion of brake discs or suspension bushings that would otherwise be mitigated by regular movement. Prospective buyers should give particular attention to the front tyres, as the 2024 advisory highlighted off‑side inner tread approaching the legal limit and the 2022 note of near‑side sidewall cracking. Verify that the tread depth on all four tyres is at least 3 mm and inspect the sidewalls for dry‑rot, bulges or cracks that can develop when tyres sit unused for long periods. During a test drive listen for any thumping or vibration that may indicate uneven wear, and feel for a loose steering feel that could suggest worn suspension bushes or degraded coil springs. Examine the brake discs for surface rust or glazing and test the pedal for a firm, consistent feel; any pulsation or sponginess could signal corroded discs or binding calipers, especially after prolonged standing. Given the vehicle’s age and modest mileage, a thorough visual and tactile inspection of time‑sensitive items is advisable. Check the 12‑volt battery for terminal corrosion and confirm it holds a healthy charge, as batteries can deteriorate even without heavy use. Inspect all fluid reservoirs – engine oil, coolant, brake fluid and power‑steering fluid – for correct levels, colour and any signs of moisture ingress; fluids typically require replacement on a calendar basis (usually every 12‑24 months) regardless of mileage. Finally, ensure that any items previously removed from the driver’s view, such as the spare wheel or tyre pressure monitoring sensors, are present and correctly fitted, and review the service book for evidence of regular oil changes, timing‑belt or chain service (if applicable) and any recorded brake or suspension work. These checks will help confirm that the low‑mileage Renault Kadjar remains mechanically sound and road‑worthy.
