2009 Renault Kangoo 1.5L Diesel · LS09 LNW

The vehicle's current roadworthiness status is undetermined due to a critical lack of recent data. The last recorded MOT test occurred on 16 February 2022, meaning the vehicle has been without a valid certification for over four years. While that specific test resulted in a pass at 143,717 miles, the absence of any testing since early 2022 indicates a stagnant maintenance trend and suggests the car may have been stored or neglected. The mileage remains frozen at 143,717 miles from February 2022 to the present date. This lack of movement over four years is a significant red flag for a buyer. Vehicles that stand idle for extended periods often suffer from seized brake calipers, perished tyre sidewalls, and degraded engine seals. The average annual mileage of 8,454 miles across its lifespan is typical, but the recent total inactivity overrides this historical stability. A physical inspection must prioritise the chassis and suspension components for corrosion, as Renault Kangooes of this era are prone to structural rust. You should specifically check for seized brake discs and binding calipers resulting from the long period of disuse. The battery, fuel system, and all rubber hoses will likely require replacement or thorough testing to ensure they have not perished. Check the tyre tread and date codes immediately. Even if the tread depth appears legal, tyres older than five years are prone to cracking and structural failure. Given the gap in the MOT record, the engine should be checked for fluid leaks and the exhaust system inspected for holes or excessive corrosion before any attempt is made to return the vehicle to the road.
