2020 Renault Kangoo 1.5L Diesel · MF20 OBT

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a reactive approach to repairs rather than proactive care. The most recent test on 13 August 2025 at 72,283 miles resulted in an initial failure due to electrical and visibility issues, including an inoperative nearside position lamp, registration plate lamp, and faulty windscreen washer system. While the vehicle passed the immediate re-test, the presence of multiple non-functional light bulbs and smearing wipers suggests the previous owner only addressed defects once they threatened the vehicle's certificate status. The mileage data indicates consistent heavy use, averaging 12,000 miles per year, which is high for a six-year-old light van. Between the 2023 test at 46,093 miles and the 2024 test at 57,564 miles, the vehicle covered over 11,000 miles. This steady accumulation suggests a regular work schedule, which typically accelerates the wear on suspension components and braking systems. The record shows no significant gaps in testing, indicating the vehicle has been used annually, despite the high mileage demands on the drivetrain. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the tyres and suspension, as the 2023 record flagged both offside front and rear tyres worn to the legal limit with edge wear, often indicating alignment issues or worn shock absorbers. Given the high mileage, the condition of the brake discs and pads should be checked for thinning or glazing, despite no recent failures for mechanical failure. The recurring electrical faults in the 2025 test also warrant a check of the exterior wiring and the wiper motor assembly to ensure no deeper corrosion or intermittent bulb issues remain that could require future attention.
