2019 Renault Kangoo 1.5L Diesel · MW69 AAJ

The overall roadworthiness of this 2019 Renault Kangoo is currently in question, as the vehicle has failed twice on the MOT, indicating a lack of consistent maintenance and a clear pattern of deterioration. The most recent test was recorded on 15 December 2025 at 94,229 miles, which was a PASSED run for the first time in a decade, marking a significant shift from the previous two failed entries. This suggests that while the vehicle may have been driven recently, the underlying mechanical condition has deteriorated significantly since the last successful test, likely over the past two years. The failure on 15 December 2025 was severe, involving multiple electrical and optical faults including offside headlamps, nearside headlamps, front and stop lamps, and central stop lamps, all of which require immediate attention before the vehicle can be safely driven again. The mileage accumulation over the last three years is particularly concerning for a vehicle roughly seven years old. The test on 15 December 2025 at 94,229 miles shows a high mileage level that exceeds typical expectations for a 7-year-old car, suggesting that the vehicle has been driven for a significant period with no adjustments for wear or that the ownership history has not kept up with usage. The gap between the 2025 and 2024 tests is notable, as the vehicle was tested on 16 December 2024 at 81,585 miles, a lower figure than the 2025 test. This indicates a rapid increase in mileage since the previous successful test, which may reflect increased driving habits or the vehicle being driven in conditions where wear is accelerated. The absence of any gaps in the mileage data suggests that the vehicle has not been maintained in a way that would prevent this rapid accumulation, further supporting the conclusion that the mechanical condition has worsened over the past year. Given the recurring faults and the high mileage, the buyer must inspect the vehicle in person to identify any structural or mechanical risks. The history reveals critical issues such as binding rear brakes, worn close to the legal limit tyre tread, and structural defects like insecure headlamps and light sources that are not working. These problems suggest that the suspension, braking system, and electrical components may have experienced corrosion, binding, or wear that requires professional assessment. The buyer should verify the condition of the rear brakes, check the tyre wear against legal limits, and examine the electrical systems for any signs of corrosion or binding. A simple check at a MOT is insufficient given the multiple failures and the high mileage; a thorough inspection is required to determine if the vehicle is roadworthy or if it requires immediate professional repair before it can be safely driven again.
