2016 Renault Kadjar 1.5L Diesel · LF16 WDJ

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive component replacement in its later years. The most recent test in April 2026 at 82,234 miles flagged pitting and scoring on both front brake discs, alongside rear tyres reaching the legal tread limit. While the vehicle passed, the transition from a clean record in 2022 to multiple advisories regarding wear suggests that components are now reaching the end of their operational life simultaneously. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,200 miles per annum. There are no significant gaps in usage, with the car covering roughly 13,000 to 14,000 miles between each annual test since 2023. For example, the vehicle travelled 7,433 miles between the April 2025 and 2026 tests. This indicates steady, regular use, which is generally beneficial for seals and mechanical components to prevent the corrosion often associated with long periods of standing. A buyer should specifically inspect the front braking system in person, as the pitting and scoring noted in 2026 indicate the discs are likely thinning or suffering from surface oxidation. The recurring mention of rear tyres being worn on the edge across 2024 and 2026 suggests potential alignment issues or uneven suspension wear that needs addressing. Additionally, the loose front undertray noted in 2024 should be verified to ensure it has been properly fastened and does not risk damage to underbody components at higher speeds.
