2017 Renault Kadjar 1.5L Diesel · LC17 ABX

The vehicle demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, with all MOT tests from 2022 to 2025 passing without defects. The most recent 2025 test at 47,230 miles confirmed no issues, aligning with prior results. No recurring faults or escalating concerns are evident in the record, suggesting consistent maintenance or minimal wear. However, the gap between the last MOT (November 2025) and today’s date (July 2026) exceeds six months, which may indicate the vehicle has not been retested recently despite its age. The mileage of 47,230 miles over nine years equates to an average of 5,248 miles annually, significantly below typical usage. This low accumulation suggests either infrequent use or prolonged periods of inactivity, which can accelerate component degradation through corrosion or fluid stagnation. Notable gaps exist between tests, such as the 7,158-mile increase from 2023-11-15 (35,758 miles) to 2024-11-15 (42,916 miles), and the 4,314-mile rise from 2024-11-15 to 2025-11-13. These intervals, while not indicative of rapid wear, warrant scrutiny for potential hidden issues linked to storage or underuse. A buyer should inspect the suspension system for aged bushes or coil springs, as low mileage may mask wear from inactivity. Brake components, including discs and calipers, should be checked for corrosion or binding, particularly if the vehicle was stored. The exhaust system’s integrity is critical, given the possibility of rust from prolonged standing. Additionally, fluid levels and battery condition should be verified, as infrequent use can lead to degradation. While the MOT history is clean, the lack of recent testing means a physical inspection is essential to confirm the vehicle’s current mechanical state.
