2015 Renault Kadjar 1.5L Diesel · LB65 ADX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive rather than preventative care. The most recent MOT test conducted in August 2025 at 76,201 miles passed only after a minor failure for a missing nearside rear wheel fixing bolt and inner front tyre wear. While the vehicle has passed consecutive tests, the recurring nature of failures related to consumables and minor hardware suggests the owner often only addresses issues when they become a legal barrier to testing. At 76,201 miles, this eleven-year-old Renault Kadjar has averaged approximately 6,900 miles per year, which is consistent with low-use patterns. The mileage accumulation is steady, with a notable gap between the 31,487 miles in late 2018 and 58,179 miles in late 2021. However, the low mileage does not correlate with a high standard of upkeep, as the record shows frequent instances where tyres and brake components were left to reach critical failure points despite the low distance traveled on the odometer. A buyer must inspect the front suspension and alignment, as the tester has consistently flagged front tyres worn on the inner edges in 2023 and 2025. This indicates a likely misalignment issue or worn suspension bushes and components that remain unaddressed. The braking system also shows a history of thin pads and pitted or scored discs across 2022 and 2023, necessitating a physical check of current pad thickness and rotor condition to ensure they are not nearing another replacement cycle. Attention should also be paid to the condition of the tyres and external trim, given multiple failures for sidewall cuts and tread depth below the legal limit. The history of a TPMS warning lamp and low oil levels in earlier tests suggests that basic fluid checks may have been neglected. The buyer should verify that the nearside front seat belt is fully functional and that the undertrays mentioned in multiple tests are properly secured and do not interfere with the mechanical operation of the vehicle.
