2015 Renault Kadjar 1.5L Diesel · LS65 GGJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history shows a worsening trend regarding deferred braking system repairs. In the most recent test in August 2025 at 57,148 miles, the tester passed despite flagging pitted and scored front brake discs alongside thin rear brake pads. This follows a similar entry from July 2024 at 53,377 miles where the same components were noted for wear. This recurring pattern suggests the owner is waiting until components reach the limit of legal failure rather than performing preventative maintenance during service intervals. The mileage profile is notably low for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,200 miles per year. Data shows consistent usage patterns, with the car covering roughly 4,500 miles between July 2024 and August 2025, and another 4,500 miles prior. While the low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, it increases the risk of rubber-based degradation. The 2024 advisory regarding a perished offside tyre is a common symptom of vehicles that remain stationary for extended periods. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking assembly to ensure the front discs have been replaced since the August 2025 test. Given the pitting and scoring recorded, the current discs likely remain thin or cause judder if not addressed. Additionally, check the sidewalls of all tyres for dry rot or cracking, as the low mileage history often masks age-related rubber failure despite sufficient depth. No structural corrosion or suspension issues have appeared in the records, suggesting the primary chassis remains sound despite the neglected consumable components.
