2016 Renault Kadjar 1.6L Diesel · LB65 ACF

The 2025‑11‑13 MOT at 74,118 miles passed without any recorded defects, confirming that the vehicle is presently roadworthy. Although earlier tests from 2020 to 2024 recorded multiple failures—including missing wheel fixings, suspension ball‑joint dust‑cover breaches, brake‑disc wear and shock‑absorber fluid leaks—the recent succession of passes suggests that previous deficiencies have been remedied and the maintenance trend is improving. The mileage has risen from 26,288 miles in February 2019 to 74,118 miles in November 2025, an average of about 7,400 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a ten‑year‑old vehicle. Notable gaps include a 5,533‑mile increase between the 2024‑02‑17 test (63,701 miles) and the 2024‑11‑21 test (65,811 miles), indicating a period of intensified use, while the two consecutive tests on 2024‑11‑21 at 65,809 and 65,811 miles show only a two‑mile increment within a single day. A buyer should therefore focus on the suspension components that have repeatedly failed: inspect the suspension bushes, verify that both front wheel fixings are securely fastened, and examine the condition of the front and rear shock absorbers for leaks or worn bushes. The history of rear brake discs being worn, pitted or scored in 2020 warrants a close visual check for corrosion or structural weakness, and the tyre pressure monitoring system, which was flagged as inoperative in 2020 and 2024, should be tested for proper operation. Overall, the vehicle demonstrates a positive maintenance trajectory after early‑life faults, but the recurring suspension and brake issues imply that a thorough in‑person inspection of suspension linkages, wheel fixings, brake condition and tyre health is essential before purchase.
