2018 Renault Kangoo 1.5L Diesel · LC68 PZS

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its latest MOT in December 2025 at 41,441 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend shows signs of improvement following a period of significant neglect in late 2024. While the 2024 test revealed multiple failures related to tyres, the subsequent clean certificate indicates that the owner has addressed these immediate safety concerns and brought the vehicle back to a passing standard. At 41,441 miles over eight years, the Renault averages approximately 5,180 miles per year, which is significantly below the average for a commercial van. There is a notable surge in usage between December 2023 and December 2024, where the vehicle covered 14,650 miles in a single year. This sudden increase in mileage likely explains the rapid wear seen on components such as the brake pads noted in 2023 and the tyre failures in the following year, contrasting with the much lower activity seen in previous years. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the condition of the tyres, as the history shows a pattern of perishing and wear that suggests neglect during periods of standing. The 2023 advisory for thin front brake pads necessitates a physical check of the remaining friction material to ensure they have been replaced as required. Given the low mileage and age of the vehicle, an inspection should also look for cracking in rubber suspension bushes and brake boots, as these components often degrade through age even when the vehicle is not driven frequently.
