2020 Renault Kadjar 1.3L Petrol · LR20 WME

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the most recent MOT history indicates a shift toward reactive maintenance. While the car passed its test on 9 June 2026 at 57,902 miles, it failed just one day prior at 57,900 miles due to significant failures across multiple braking and suspension components. The presence of thin brake pads, worn discs, and perished tyres suggests that the owner only addresses mechanical faults when forced by an MOT failure, rather than performing preventative servicing. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical light-use cycles, averaging approximately 9,650 miles per year. The record shows a significant gap of 11,357 miles between July 2023 and June 2024, followed by roughly 4,500 miles the following year and 2,400 miles in the final interval. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle is not sitting stationary, though the age of the tyres noted in 2026 indicates that the rubber components are suffering from dry-rot despite the relatively low annual mileage. A buyer must physically inspect the front suspension arms, as the tester flagged corrosion on both sides in June 2026. While currently noted as not yet seriously weakened, corrosion on these control arms often progresses and can lead to structural failure if ignored. The braking system also requires close scrutiny; the June 2026 failure revealed fluctuating rear brakes and thin pads on both axles. You should verify that the discs and pads were replaced with high-quality components following the recent failure to ensure the fluctuating condition has been fully rectified.
