2012 Renault Kangoo 1.5L Diesel · ML62 RUU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean mechanical record over the last three years. The most recent inspection conducted on January 2024 at 123,999 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating that the vehicle met all safety and emissions standards. This follows a period of clean passes back to 2021, suggesting that the previous owners maintained the necessary operational standards without the development of recurring mechanical failures. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,857 miles per annum. Data shows a steady progression, with 1,515 miles recorded between February 2023 and January 2024, and a larger gap of 5,477 miles between 2021 and 2023. The brief failure in December 2020 at 113,099 miles was rectified quickly within five days, likely representing a minor component replacement that addressed the issue immediately rather than a sign of chronic neglect. While the digital record is clear of advisories, a buyer must still perform a physical inspection of the chassis and suspension. Given the age of the Kangoo, you should check for structural corrosion on the sills and rear mounting points, which often go unnoticed in MOT tests until they become critical. Examine the rubber suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of cracking or fatigue, as these components degrade over time regardless of mileage. Additionally, the lack of recorded brake advisories means a manual check of disc thickness and pad wear is necessary to ensure they are not nearing the end of their service life.
