2010 Renault Kangoo 1.5L Diesel · NA60 AEP

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 2025-05-02 at 242,998 miles, with no defects recorded, suggesting stable roadworthiness. However, a prior failure on 2025-05-01 at the same mileage indicates inconsistency in testing or minor unresolved issues. The absence of defects in the 2024 and 2023 tests implies no critical faults were identified in earlier years, but the recent failure raises questions about the reliability of the most recent pass. The vehicle’s mileage of 242,998 miles at 16 years old equates to an average of 15,187 miles annually, significantly above the typical usage for its age. This rapid accumulation suggests heavy usage, which may accelerate wear on components like suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs. The MOT history shows minimal gaps between tests, with no major defects recorded, but the high mileage raises concerns about the longevity of consumables and structural integrity. A buyer should inspect the suspension for worn bushes or coil springs, as high mileage often leads to premature degradation. Brake systems, including discs and calipers, should be checked for uneven wear or binding, given the vehicle’s age. The exhaust system and corrosion in body panels, particularly around the chassis, warrant scrutiny due to the vehicle’s extensive use. While the MOT records show no critical issues, the high mileage and recent failure highlight the need for a thorough pre-purchase inspection.
