2016 Renault Kadjar 1.5L Diesel · LB65 ACY

The Renault Kadjar’s most recent MOT test on 2025-07-10—just ten months ago—confirms it remains roadworthy with no defects recorded at 84,465 miles. This clean history across five consecutive tests, spanning February 2022 to July 2025, suggests no recurring mechanical failures or advisory trends. The absence of advisories or failings in any category—including brakes, suspension, emissions, or structural integrity—indicates the vehicle has passed all mandatory checks without exception. While this does not preclude hidden wear, the consistency implies the previous owner adhered to regular servicing and addressed any potential issues before they escalated. The mileage progression reveals a steady, typical usage pattern for a vehicle of this age. Over the past three years, the car accumulated roughly 6,571 miles annually, aligning with the average for a ten-year-old model. There are no abrupt jumps or prolonged gaps that would raise concern—each test interval falls within the expected 12-month window, and the mileage increments are proportionate. The lack of skipped MOTs or irregular mileage spikes further supports the idea that the vehicle has been driven responsibly without extended periods of neglect. Given the clean MOT record, a buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of high-wear components that aren’t fully covered by the test. Focus on the suspension—particularly the rear coil springs and bushes—for signs of uneven sagging or excessive play, as these are often overlooked until they fail. The brake system, though never flagged, warrants scrutiny: check for uneven disc thickness, glazed pads, or binding calipers, especially if the vehicle has been driven hard or in wet conditions. Corrosion is another critical area; inspect the wheel arches, sills, and subframe mounts for pitting or structural weakening, as these can compromise safety without immediate MOT failure. Finally, verify the exhaust system for leaks or excessive rust, as minor emissions issues might not have been detected in previous tests.
