2018 Renault Kangoo 1.5L Diesel · MT18 ACO

The 2018 Renault Kangoo demonstrates stable roadworthiness, with all six MOT tests from 2022 to 2025 passing without defects. The most recent October 2025 test at 103,858 miles confirmed no issues, aligning with prior results. No recurring faults or escalating concerns were recorded, suggesting consistent maintenance. However, the vehicle’s high annual mileage of ~12,982 miles raises potential wear risks for components like suspension bushes, brake discs, and exhaust systems, which are not fully assessed in standard MOTs. The mileage progression reveals a sharp increase from 60,770 miles in April 2022 to 85,237 by October 2024—a rise of 24,467 miles over 22 months. This acceleration, followed by a 18,621-mile jump to 103,858 by October 2025, indicates heavy usage. While the MOT history lacks gaps, the rapid accumulation contrasts with the vehicle’s age, increasing the likelihood of accelerated wear on consumables and structural elements. Notably, the absence of advisories or failures in this period suggests the previous owner prioritized basic upkeep, though deeper mechanical scrutiny is warranted. A buyer should inspect the suspension for worn coil springs or bushings, which may degrade under sustained high-mileage stress. Brake discs and calipers should be checked for uneven wear or binding, as excessive mileage can compromise stopping power. Corrosion in the underbody, particularly around the exhaust system, merits close attention, as moisture and road salt can accelerate rust in older vehicles. While the MOT records confirm no immediate dangers, these components require in-person evaluation to assess long-term reliability.
