2014 Renault Kangoo 1.5L Diesel · LX64 NEJ

The 2014 Renault Kangoo with 137,542 miles demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, as the most recent MOT on 2026-03-17 confirmed a pass with no defects recorded. Previous tests from 2025-03-26 and 2024-01-19 also passed without issues, despite two failures in 2025 and 2024 that similarly showed no defects. This suggests the vehicle has maintained compliance with safety standards, though the absence of recorded faults in failed tests warrants scrutiny. The lack of recurring mechanical or structural issues in the latest data implies consistent maintenance, though the pattern of failures without recorded problems may indicate inconsistent testing or unresolved minor concerns. The mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a 12-year-old vehicle, averaging 11,462 miles annually. From 2024-01-12 to 2026-03-17, the odometer increased by 30,250 miles, reflecting steady usage. Notably, the 2025-01-22 failure occurred at 117,601 miles, just 1,199 miles after the prior test, suggesting potential oversight in addressing minor issues before retesting. The 2024-01-12 failure at 107,292 miles coincided with a subsequent pass at the same mileage, indicating possible temporary fixes or incomplete diagnostics. These gaps highlight the need for a thorough inspection to verify the vehicle’s mechanical integrity beyond recorded data. A buyer should prioritise checking suspension components, particularly bushes and coil springs, given the vehicle’s age and mileage. Brake systems, including calipers and discs, warrant close examination for wear or corrosion, as these are common failure points in older models. Structural integrity should also be assessed, focusing on the chassis and body for rust or damage, especially in areas prone to moisture. While the MOT history shows no critical defects, the absence of detailed failure records in prior tests means physical inspection remains essential to confirm the vehicle’s condition.
