2018 Renault Kangoo 1.5L Diesel · MV18 FFJ

The vehicle presents a stable but reactive maintenance profile, with the most recent MOT passed on 23 February 2026 at 96,522 miles. While the vehicle consistently meets minimum legal standards, the record shows a recurring pattern of addressing consumable wear only when it reaches the threshold of failure or advisory status. The most recent advisory regarding an offside front inner tyre worn on the edge suggests a potential alignment issue or suspension component wear that has not yet been rectified. The mileage accumulation indicates high usage for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 12,000 miles per year. The data shows consistent annual progression, with 4,869 miles covered between the February 2025 and February 2026 tests, and a more significant 14,118-mile jump between March 2023 and March 2024. This high-mileage profile increases the likelihood of accelerated wear on drivetrain components, suspension bushes, and braking systems compared to lower-mileage counterparts. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the braking system and tyre wear patterns. The January 2022 failure at 59,235 miles highlighted significant wear on both front and rear brake discs and pads, alongside multiple tyres worn to the legal limit. Although these were resolved, the subsequent advisories for tyres in March 2024 and February 2026 suggest that tyre management and wheel alignment are ongoing issues. The 2023 failure regarding insufficient brake lever travel also indicates that the parking brake mechanism requires careful verification. Given the history of worn tyres and brake component failures, a thorough check of the suspension geometry and steering components is necessary to identify why tyres are consistently wearing on the edges. The vehicle appears to be maintained on a necessity basis rather than a preventative schedule, so checking the service history for regular oil changes and fluid replacements is essential to ensure the engine and drivetrain have been adequately protected during high-mileage use.
