Our Verdict
This is a highly recommended example of a 2020 Renault Kadjar. Given its exceptionally low mileage and clean MOT record, it represents a low-risk option for buyers seeking a modern petrol crossover.
When viewing this vehicle, focus on verifying the service history to ensure the 1.3L petrol engine has been maintained according to manufacturer intervals, despite the low mileage. Because the car has been driven less than the average annual mileage, check that the tyres have sufficient tread and haven't suffered from flat-spotting or age-related perishing.
Negotiate based on the service records rather than the MOT history alone. While the MOTs have been passed without defects, a full service history is essential to confirm that oil changes and fluid checks have occurred regularly to protect the turbocharger and engine components.
The 1332cc petrol engine is generally efficient for a crossover of this size, offering a balance between performance and fuel economy. Tax bands for this model vary depending on specific CO2 emissions, so buyers should confirm the exact rate for this registration.
Insurance groups for the Kadjar are typically mid-range, and maintenance costs should be predictable, though owners should budget for standard items like tyres and brakes. Given the low mileage, annual running costs are expected to be lower than average, primarily driven by fuel and routine servicing.
While this specific vehicle has no recorded MOT failures, the wider Renault Kadjar model data shows that tyres, headlamps, and suspension arms are common failure points across the fleet. It is wise to inspect the condition of the tyres and check that the headlamp alignment and brightness are correct.
Additionally, examine the suspension components for any signs of premature wear or noise when driving over bumps, as this is a frequent issue in the aggregate data. Check the brake pads and discs, as low-mileage vehicles can sometimes experience surface corrosion if they have been stationary for long periods.
This red Renault Kadjar (MJ20ABN) has covered just 10,816 miles since its first registration in June 2020, which is significantly lower than the model average of 7,990 miles per year. The MOT history is notably clean, with three consecutive passes in 2023, 2024, and 2025 showing no recorded defects. This combination of low usage and a defect-free inspection history makes it a standout candidate in the current market.
The Renault Kadjar shows an average MOT pass rate of 83.4% across 69,275 analysed vehicles, with common issues relating to tyres, lighting, and suspension.
