2019 Renault Kadjar 1.3L Petrol · MT19 HFD

The 2026-02-12 test at 71,292 miles was passed with no recorded defects, establishing a baseline that was maintained through the 2025-02-06 and 2024-02-13 tests. However, the 2025-02-05 failure indicates a significant deterioration in braking integrity, specifically a thin offside brake pad and a worn disc, which suggests a pattern of neglect or inadequate maintenance. This sequence of tests suggests that while the vehicle passed its initial checks, the underlying mechanical condition has become progressively more critical over the past year, indicating a lack of proactive upkeep and a potential for imminent failure. The mileage trajectory of 71,292 miles over 10,185 miles per year is consistent with a typical age of 7 years, but it is not uniform. The rapid accumulation of miles between the 2025-02-06 and 2025-02-05 tests, coupled with the specific failure of the front brake components, points to a pattern of accelerated wear or usage that has not been adequately addressed. If the vehicle has been driven less frequently or maintained at a higher standard, the engine and drivetrain components may be approaching their limits, whereas the brake system has already suffered from reduced material thickness. Given the recurring structural and mechanical faults, particularly the thin brake pads and the wear of the front brake disc, a buyer should inspect the vehicle in person to verify the condition of the brake discs and pads. The 2025-02-05 failure, with the offside pad being less than 1.5 mm thick, indicates that the brake system is no longer in good working order and requires immediate replacement. Furthermore, the 2024-02-13 test revealed cracks or perishing in the rear tyres, which are critical structural components that must be checked for further damage before the vehicle is returned to the buyer.
