2011 Renault Kangoo 1.5L Diesel · MJ61 ACX

The Kangoo presents a currently roadworthy status following the September 2024 test at 157,200 miles, where the vehicle passed after an initial same-day failure with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable across the three years of available history, with no advisories or mechanical faults logged by testers. Recurring same-day fail-and-pass pairs in 2023 and 2024 suggest administrative or presentation issues at the test centre rather than escalating wear. Annual mileage sits at roughly 10,480 miles against the 15-year-old vehicle's 157,200 total, a typical use profile for a light commercial. The records show 134,611 miles in July 2022, rising to 144,360 by September 2023 and 157,200 by September 2024, equating to about 9,750 and 12,840 miles in those intervals. The sparse three-year trail with clean sheets gives little insight into component condition, though the gap between the 2022 and 2023 tests of fourteen months is slightly extended. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the age and mileage, as MOT silence does not confirm absence of wear. The twin fail-pass entries with no defects recorded imply the previous keeper addressed any minor compliance point promptly, yet structural corrosion around sills and subframes remains a known Renault weakness unseen in the data. Verify the September 2024 failure cause in person, since DVSA logs show no defect text to explain the rejection.
