2016 Renault Kadjar 1.5L Diesel · KA61 LEA

The most recent MOT on 2025-08-05 showed two key issues: both rear tyres were worn close to the legal limit and showed edge wear, and the rear registration plate was deteriorated but not misread. The child seat installation also prevented a full inspection of the adult seatbelt, which could indicate ongoing use of child safety equipment that might affect safety checks. These findings suggest the vehicle has experienced consistent tyre wear and potential maintenance gaps. Recurring mechanical patterns include tyre wear near the legal limit, particularly on front and rear tyres, documented in 2024, 2023, and 2025 MOTs. Brake pad wear was noted in 2024 and 2023, though no such defects appeared in the 2025 or earlier MOTs. The absence of brake issues in the most recent test may indicate repairs were made, but the persistent tyre wear raises concerns about driving habits, maintenance practices, or tyre quality. The trend shows stable but recurring issues. Tyre wear has remained consistent over multiple MOTs, while brake pad wear appears intermittent. No new defects were recorded in the 2022 or 2021 MOTs, suggesting the vehicle was in better condition earlier. However, the 2025 MOT highlights worsening tyre conditions, which could signal increasing wear or inadequate replacement schedules.
