2004 Renault Kangoo 1.1L Petrol · N30 AAT

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, following a clean MOT pass in August 2025 at 25,088 miles with no defects or advisories recorded. The maintenance trend indicates consistent upkeep, despite a momentary failure in September 2024 at 24,884 miles which was rectified within two days. The recent history suggests that the current owner is proactive in addressing immediate faults rather than allowing defects to accumulate. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 22-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,140 miles per year. Between August 2022 and August 2025, the van covered only 1,445 miles, indicating it is used only for short trips or sits for long periods. While low mileage reduces the wear on mechanical components like the drivetrain and engine, the long intervals between tests often mask risks related to age-related degradation, such as perished rubber components or fluid-related corrosion on parts that are not regularly cleaned by frequent use. A physical inspection must focus on areas typical of low-mileage, aged vehicles. The buyer should specifically check for cracking in suspension bushes, perished hoses, and dry seals, as these degrade regardless of distance travelled. Given the vehicle's age, a thorough check of the structural integrity around the sills and wheel arches is essential, as moisture often settles in stationary vehicles. Additionally, inspect the brake discs for surface pitting or seizing, as infrequent use can lead to uneven corrosion that affects braking performance.
