2016 Renault Kadjar 1.5L Diesel · LL16 XON

The 2016 Renault Kadjar currently shows a stable roadworthiness profile, with the most recent MOT on 2025-07-15 confirming no defects at 95,892 miles. However, a prior failure on 2025-07-10 at 95,702 miles—just five days earlier—suggests potential inconsistency in testing or minor unresolved issues. The absence of recorded defects in both tests implies no critical mechanical or structural faults, but the proximity of the failure and subsequent pass raises questions about the accuracy of the assessment or whether corrective actions were taken. The vehicle’s maintenance history lacks recurring issues, indicating no worsening trends in key systems. Mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a 10-year-old vehicle, averaging 9,589 miles annually. Notable gaps include a 11,026-mile increase between 2023-06-27 (76,262 miles) and 2024-06-28 (87,288 miles), followed by a slower 8,604-mile rise to 2025-07-15. The 2023 MOT records show a failed test on the same date as a pass at identical mileage, which may indicate data duplication or an administrative error. These anomalies do not directly impact mechanical integrity but highlight the need for further verification of the vehicle’s service history. A buyer should physically inspect the suspension components, particularly the rear brakes, given the tight timeline of the 2025 tests. While no defects were recorded, the failure at 95,702 miles could hint at transient issues like brake binding or exhaust emissions. Corrosion checks on the underbody and structural integrity assessments are advisable, as these are common concerns for vehicles of this age. The absence of recurring faults suggests the previous owner maintained the car adequately, but the MOT history’s inconsistencies warrant a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm the vehicle’s current condition.
