2018 Renault Kadjar 1.6L Petrol · LC18 AEL

The Renault Kadjar presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent DVSA test on 29 April 2025 at 33,751 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. The same-day failure on 29 April 2025 at identical mileage but with no defects listed points to an administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than a fault with the vehicle itself, and the subsequent pass confirms the car cleared the test. Across the five-year record from April 2022 to April 2025, every test passed without advisories, showing no worsening pattern in suspension, braking, emissions, or structural integrity. The odometer shows 15,852 miles at the April 2022 test, rising to 22,638 miles by April 2023, 27,906 miles by April 2024, and 33,751 miles by April 2025. That equates to roughly 4,200 miles per year on an eight-year-old vehicle, a low annual figure for its age. The clean record with no flagged wear items across this period suggests light use, though low mileage combined with the same-day fail-pass in 2025 means the buyer should confirm why the initial attempt was rejected. No rapid accumulation or suspicious gaps appear in the data. Given the absence of recorded advisories on tyres, brake discs, coil springs, or corrosion, the Kadjar's history implies conscientious basic upkeep by prior keepers. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of the suspension bushes and underbody for latent corrosion, as MOT passes at low mileage can miss slow-developing structural issues. The same-day failure with no defects warrants a check of the DVSA refusal reason to rule out a documentation or lighting-check anomaly rather than concealed mechanical fault.
