2013 Renault Kangoo 1.5L Diesel · LT63 BYL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a persistent trend of neglect regarding specific mechanical components. While the most recent test in May 2025 at 100,021 miles passed, the recurring presence of the offside rear brake pipe corrosion indicates a lack of preventative maintenance. This specific fault has appeared in every test record from 2021 through to 2025, suggesting that owners have only reacted to the minimum legal requirement rather than addressing underlying degradation. At 13 years old, the recorded 100,021 miles represent a consistent usage pattern of approximately 7,700 miles per year, which is typical for a light commercial vehicle of this age. There is a notable gap in the records between December 2021 and April 2023, during which the vehicle covered approximately 2,000 miles. Since then, the mileage accumulation remains steady, with roughly 3,700 miles covered between the last two tests, indicating low annual use that often accelerates the aging of rubber and metal components. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the braking system and suspension geometry. The tester repeatedly flagged pitted and scored brake discs, alongside a corroded offside rear brake pipe that was noted covered in grease. The presence of offside front coil spring corrosion in 2024 suggests the suspension components are suffering from environmental oxidation, which can lead to structural failure. Furthermore, the repeated advisories for tyres worn close to the legal limit in 2024 and 2025 show that the owner typically delays replacing consumables until they reach imminent failure.
