2016 Renault Kadjar 1.5L Diesel · LN58 BEX

The 2016 Renault Kadjar demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent MOT on 2026-04-08 at 89,771 miles recording a PASS and no defects. This follows a 2025-04-25 test at 74,238 miles also showing a PASS, indicating consistent maintenance. However, a 2025-04-12 failure at 74,214 miles and a 2023-08-08 failure at 52,726 miles suggest intermittent issues, though no defects were recorded in subsequent tests. The absence of advisories in the latest assessment implies resolved concerns, but the pattern of occasional failures raises questions about underlying mechanical stability. The vehicle’s mileage of 89,771 miles over 10 years aligns with average annual usage of 8,977 miles. A significant jump from 52,726 miles (2023-08-09) to 74,238 miles (2025-04-25) reflects a two-year period of 21,512 miles, which is slightly above average but not extreme. The 2025-04-12 failure occurred just 13 days after the 74,214-mile test, suggesting potential short-term issues, though no defects were logged. The MOT history lacks detailed advisories, limiting insight into minor wear, but the clean 2026 test implies recent corrective actions were effective. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension system, particularly suspension bushes and coil springs, given the vehicle’s age and mileage. The absence of brake-related defects in the latest test is reassuring, but the 2023-08-08 failure at 52,726 miles—though not logged as a defect—warrants scrutiny of brake discs and calipers for corrosion or binding. Structural integrity should also be verified, as rust or corrosion is common in older models. The lack of exhaust emissions data in the records further underscores the need for a professional assessment of the exhaust system’s condition.
