2016 Renault Kadjar Dynamique NAV DCI 1.5L Heavy oil · MF16 EOS

The 1.5L diesel engine is generally positioned in a lower insurance group and tax band, making it relatively economical for long-distance drivers. Fuel economy for this model typically benefits from the diesel powertrain's efficiency in motorway cruising.

Maintenance costs for Renault crossovers are generally moderate, though as the vehicle approaches the 70,000-mile mark, you should budget for wear-and-tear items like brake discs and potentially a cambelt replacement if not already completed. Estimated annual running costs typically range between £1,200 and £1,600 depending on annual mileage and insurance profile.

Given that the MOT history shows no recorded failures or advisories, focus your inspection on items that MOT tests might not fully capture, such as the condition of the infotainment system (Nav) and the responsiveness of the electronic parking brake.

Check the diesel particulate filter (DPF) status by asking the current owner about their typical driving patterns; these engines require regular motorway use to prevent clogging. Additionally, inspect the blue paintwork for any signs of fading or clear coat issues, and check the tyres for even wear which can indicate alignment problems.
