2017 Renault Kadjar 1.2L Petrol · MX67 WKC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a recent shift toward reactive component replacement. While it passed its most recent test in April 2026 at 60,069 miles, the tester identified several immediate wear items that were not present in previous years. The presence of pitted front brake discs, thin rear pads, and a worn nearside front tyre indicates that the owner has likely deferred routine consumable maintenance until it reached an MOT failure threshold rather than performing preventative servicing. At 60,069 miles over nine years, the Kadjar averages approximately 6,700 miles per year, which aligns with typical low-mileage usage patterns. The mileage accumulation is consistent, with a gap of roughly 5,400 miles between the April 2025 and 2026 tests. However, the failure in April 2025 at 54,679 miles reveals a period of mechanical neglect, specifically regarding the suspension arm ball joint and inner bush. The low coolant level noted during that test suggests fluids were not monitored regularly between service intervals. A buyer must closely inspect the front suspension geometry to ensure the repairs following the 2025 failure were executed to a professional standard. The previous deterioration of the inner suspension arm bush can lead to steering instability and uneven tyre wear if not aligned correctly. Given the 2026 report of pitted front discs and thin rear pads, a full brake inspection is required to check for binding calipers or excessive rotor thickness. You should also verify all tyres for uneven wear patterns, as the nearside front was already flagged as worn on the edge, often indicating alignment issues or worn shock absorbers.
