2019 Renault Kadjar 1.3L Petrol · LL69 TOJ

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 3 December 2025. While the overall history shows a consistent passing trend, the most recent inspection indicates a shift from a clean record to one with emerging mechanical and cosmetic concerns. The appearance of an oil leak and recurring windscreen damage suggests that the vehicle is entering a phase where routine wear and tear are becoming more evident, requiring closer attention to preventative maintenance to avoid future failures. With a recorded mileage of 38,691 miles over approximately seven years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 5,527 miles per year. This is significantly lower than the UK national average, which generally reduces the mechanical wear on the engine, gearbox, and suspension components. However, low annual usage often implies periods of standing, which can introduce specific risks such as the degradation of rubber components and the accumulation of moisture in the braking system. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the reported oil leak. During a physical inspection, check the engine bay and the ground beneath the vehicle for fresh residue, as leaks can stem from degrading gaskets or seals that may worsen over time. The mention of a front under tray blocking a full underside inspection is a point of concern, as it may hide corrosion or further leaks. On a test drive, listen for any unusual engine noises and ensure the windscreen damage does not obstruct the driver's field of vision or risk further cracking under thermal stress. Given the low mileage, it is essential to verify that the vehicle has been serviced according to time intervals rather than just mileage. Inspect the tyre sidewalls for fine cracking or perishing, as tyres can expire due to age even if the tread remains deep. Check the brake discs for heavy surface corrosion or evidence of binding calipers, which often occur when a car is left stationary for long periods. Finally, test the 12V battery health and check the service book for evidence of regular oil and filter changes to ensure internal engine lubrication has been maintained.
