2010 Renault Kangoo 1.5L Diesel · LL59 RVW

The 2010 Renault Kangoo recorded at 136,005 miles fails the current roadworthiness assessment, as the most recent 2026‑03‑18 test shows a pass that follows an immediate failure on the same date and mileage, indicating unresolved defects. The pattern of repeated failures on suspension arm ball joints, coil spring corrosion and brake disc wear demonstrates a worsening rather than improving maintenance trend. Mileage accumulation of roughly 8,500 miles per year is typical for a 16‑year‑old vehicle, with no anomalous spikes; however, the interval between the 2024‑12‑18 and 2025‑12‑16 tests covers only 12,380 miles, and the 2026‑03‑18 entries occur within a single day, suggesting frequent re‑testing to resolve lingering issues rather than genuine low‑usage operation. A buyer should therefore prioritize a physical inspection of the rear and front suspension components, including coil springs for corrosion, ball joints and suspension arms for excessive wear, and verify the condition of the brake discs, pads and calipers, which have repeatedly been noted as worn, pitted or scored. Particular attention must also be given to tyre tread depth, structural rust on the coil springs, and the functionality of all lamps and registration plate lighting, as these items have recurred across multiple test dates. Given the persistent mechanical deficiencies and the lack of consistent remedial action, the vehicle should be regarded as needing substantial work before it can be considered safe for regular use, and any purchase should be contingent on a thorough on‑site verification of the highlighted components.
