Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift from clean records to emerging consumable issues. The most recent test in February 2026 at 46,338 miles passed without failure but introduced advisories for perishing and damage on both rear tyre edges. This indicates that while the vehicle is mechanically functional, the rubber components are beginning to degrade due to age and exposure despite the relatively low mileage. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,700 miles per annum. The data shows a steady progression from 17,422 miles in February 2023 to 28,630 miles in early 2024, and reaching 37,138 miles by February 2025. This regular usage suggests the car has not been subjected to long periods of sitting, which is generally beneficial for the health of the drivetrain and braking systems compared to stagnant-mileage examples. A buyer must investigate the front suspension geometry and alignment. The February 2025 test at 37,138 miles flagged both front tyres as wearing on the inner edges, which typically points to incorrect camber, toe settings, or worn ball joints and suspension bushes. If this issue was not rectified before the subsequent test, it will continue to cause premature tyre wear and potentially affect handling stability. The physical inspection should also focus on the condition of the rear tyres specifically. The February 2026 advisory regarding cracking and perishing suggests the tyres are reaching the end of their structural life regardless of tread depth. Since there is no history of structural corrosion or brake failures in the record, the primary mechanical concerns are limited to standard wear items and the persistent alignment of the front-end assembly.

Our Verdict

This is a solid buy for a 2020 Renault Kadjar with a clean MOT pass record and reasonable mileage. The only caution is minor tyre wear flagged at recent tests, which is easily addressed and not a structural concern.

When viewing this Kadjar, ask for the full service history to confirm the 1.3-litre TCe petrol engine has been serviced on schedule, as Renault recommends annual or mileage-based intervals. Use the rear tyre cracking noted at the 2026 MOT (both sides, tread edge perishing) as a negotiation point to request part-exchange or a discount toward a new pair of rear tyres. Given the front tyres were noted wearing on inner edges in 2025 and no further mention in 2026, check whether they have been replaced or rotated.

The 1332cc petrol engine in this Euro 6DG Kadjar typically returns mid-40s mpg in mixed driving, keeping fuel costs modest for a compact SUV. Insurance group is likely around 14-16, and road tax for a 2020 petrol Euro 6 vehicle is approximately £190 per year in the standard rate. Estimated annual running cost including fuel, tax, insurance and routine maintenance is around £1,000-£1,200 based on average use.

The 2026 MOT flagged nearside and offside rear tyres with slight cracking or perishing at the tread edge (5.2.3(d)(ii)) — inspect both rear tyres closely for age, cracking and remaining tread before purchase. The 2025 test noted nearside and offside front tyres wearing on the inner edge, a pattern that can indicate alignment or suspension wear, so check steering and tracking. Otherwise, the 2023 and 2024 MOTs recorded no defects, so confirm there are no hidden issues such as brake or suspension corrosion not picked up at test.

LV20ACY is a white 2020 Renault Kadjar 1.3-litre petrol that has passed every MOT since first registration in March 2020, with no failures recorded. Mileage has risen steadily from 17,422 in 2023 to 46,338 in 2026, averaging around 9,600 miles per year which is typical for the age. The only advisories relate to tyre wear and slight cracking on rear tyres, suggesting routine maintenance rather than underlying faults.

No aggregate MOT reliability data is available for the Renault Kadjar, so this assessment relies solely on the individual history of LV20ACY.
