2016 Renault Kadjar 1.5L Diesel · NA66 NHK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than proactive upkeep. While the most recent test in March 2026 at 94,067 miles passed, the tester issued an advisory for thin front brake pads. This indicates that while the car is safe for the road, the braking system is reaching the end of its service life and requires immediate attention to prevent a failure in the next inspection. The mileage pattern is consistent with a typical low-use vehicle, averaging approximately 9,400 miles per year. The record shows steady accumulation, moving from 52,423 miles in February 2023 to 68,229 miles in February 2024, and then reaching 83,481 miles by March 2025 before the current reading in early 2026. This regularity suggests the vehicle has not been left stationary for long periods, which is generally beneficial for the condition of rubber components, seals, and fluid integrity. A buyer should prioritize a physical inspection of the braking system, given the recent advisory on the front pads. The previous failure in March 2025 regarding a misshapen offside rear tyre suggests a history of impact damage or a lack of proper alignment, so the suspension geometry should be checked for uneven wear across all four tyres. Since no structural corrosion or mechanical defects were noted between 2023 and 2024, the chassis integrity appears sound, but the transition from clean records to consumable wear advisories indicates the vehicle is entering a phase where more frequent mechanical maintenance is necessary.
