Our Verdict
A compelling option primarily due to its
Priority should be given to verifying the service history, specifically checking if the oil leak identified in October 2023 was repaired. Given the very low annual mileage, it is important to ensure the vehicle has been used for occasional longer runs to prevent diesel particulate filter (DPF) blockage, a common issue for low-mileage diesels.
Negotiate based on the current state of the tyres; while the June 2026 failure was rectified for the pass, the history shows a pattern of tyres being worn close to the legal limit across multiple years (2023 and 2026).
The 1.6L diesel engine is designed for efficiency, though annual costs will be influenced by the 2016 diesel tax bracket and insurance group. Maintenance costs for this model are typically moderate, though the low mileage may reduce the frequency of major component replacements.
Expected annual costs will include fuel, road tax, and routine servicing. Because the vehicle has been used sparingly, ensure a full service is performed immediately after purchase to refresh the engine oil and filters.
Carefully inspect the tread depth and condition of all four tyres, as the vehicle failed its June 2026 MOT specifically because the nearside rear tyre was below 1.6mm and others were worn on the edges. Check the engine bay and underside for any evidence of the oil leak recorded in 2023.
While not present in this specific vehicle's history, be alert for the Kadjar's most common aggregate failure points: check the operation of the headlamps, the thickness of the brake pads, and the condition of the suspension arms.
This 2016 white Renault Kadjar 1.6L diesel has covered 35,125 miles, which is significantly lower than the model average of 7,980 miles per year. The MOT history shows four passes and one failure in June 2026, primarily related to tyre tread depth and child seats obstructing belt inspections. A 2023 record also noted a non-excessive oil leak and worn front tyres.
The Kadjar maintains an average MOT pass rate of 83.5% across 69,276 analysed vehicles, with common failures linked to headlamps and brake pads.

Common Problems: RENAULT KADJAR
Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.
- 1.2 TCe Oil Consumption (H5F Engine)(Serious)

- EDC Gearbox Shudder and Hesitation(Serious)
The dual-clutch automatic can feel hesitant, jerky, or shudder at low speed, particularly in UK stop-start traffic. It may require software updates or expensive hardware repairs.
