2017 Renault Kadjar 1.5L Diesel · KT03 XXX

The vehicle's overall roadworthiness is currently failing, as evidenced by the MOT record from 2026-01-16 where it failed on the offside front coil spring fracture. This indicates a critical structural integrity issue that has not been resolved, suggesting a lack of proactive maintenance or a failure to address the problem promptly. The test was conducted on 64,583 miles, which is significantly higher than the 55,779 miles recorded on the same date in 2025, implying that the car has experienced rapid mileage accumulation since the 2025 test. This rapid growth suggests that the vehicle's mechanical components may be approaching their service limits or that the owner has been neglecting routine checks, particularly regarding suspension and braking systems. The mileage pattern reveals a clear gap between the 2025 and 2026 test dates, with the car having accumulated over 9,000 miles between the two assessments. This gap in data points to a lack of consistent maintenance, as the vehicle would have been serviced or inspected during the 2025 test if the owner had been diligent. The 2026 test failure on the coil spring fracture, combined with the 2025 failure on the brake disc, indicates a pattern of recurring structural and mechanical wear. The brake disc wear, while not excessive, suggests that the braking system is not performing at its designed capacity, a common sign of neglected servicing. The fact that the 2025 test was passed while the 2026 test failed suggests that the car has not been properly maintained despite the mileage increase. Given the recurring faults including the fractured coil spring and worn brake discs, a buyer should inspect the vehicle in person to verify the condition of the suspension components and the integrity of the brake linings. The lack of a clear history of maintenance suggests that the owner may have skipped regular inspections, leading to accelerated wear on critical parts. A thorough inspection would be required to confirm whether the coil spring fracture is stable or if it has progressed into a more serious defect, and to assess the wear on the brake pads and discs. The presence of these recurring issues indicates that the vehicle is on the verge of imminent failure, necessitating an immediate and comprehensive repair or replacement of the affected components.
