2016 Renault Kadjar 1.2L Petrol · LF16 OLA

The 2016 Renault Kadjar presents a clean and stable maintenance record through its most recent MOT on 25 April 2025 at 60,115 miles, where the tester recorded zero defects. This outcome, combined with four consecutive passes dating back to May 2021, indicates a resolving or consistently well-maintained trend rather than a pattern of recurring mechanical failures. No advisories or failures have appeared in the last five years of testing, suggesting the vehicle has been kept in sound mechanical order. The mileage accumulation is steady and typical for a ten-year-old vehicle. Between the May 2021 test at 35,696 miles and the April 2025 test at 60,115 miles, the car covered roughly 24,419 miles over nearly four years, averaging around 6,100 miles annually. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden spikes in the odometer readings that would indicate long periods of disuse or clocking concerns. The record is sparse in the sense that no defects have ever been flagged, but this is a positive indicator of consistent upkeep rather than a lack of data. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer should still inspect the underside for corrosion, particularly around suspension mounting points, subframes, and the exhaust system, as these components age regardless of test outcomes. The rear brake calipers and discs deserve a close look, given the Kadjar's known tendency toward binding rear brakes in earlier model years. Tyre condition and tread depth should be verified, especially if the car has spent extended periods stationary between tests. A test drive over uneven surfaces will reveal any developing wear in suspension bushes, drop links, or shock absorbers that may not yet meet the MOT failure threshold. The engine and transmission should be assessed for smooth operation, paying attention to the dual-clutch automatic gearbox if fitted, as these units can develop judder or hesitation over time. Overall, the record supports a mechanically sound vehicle, but a thorough in-person inspection remains essential to confirm its condition beyond the scope of periodic testing.
