2017 Renault Kadjar 1.5L Diesel · NK17 SFV

The Renault Kadjar currently fails the roadworthiness test. The most recent examination on 27 February 2026 at 95,898 miles returned a fail with no defects logged, which indicates an administrative or unrecorded fault rather than a documented mechanical defect. The maintenance trend is unclear and slightly concerning, as the vehicle passed cleanly in March 2025 at 80,570 miles yet failed twice on the same date with no defects listed, before the latest 2026 failure. Mileage progression shows typical annual use for a 2017 plate. The car ran 38,879 miles by 28 February 2023, rose to 62,216 by 7 March 2024, then jumped to 80,570 by 4 March 2025, and reached 95,898 by February 2026. That equates to roughly 10,600 miles per year, with no standing periods or abrupt accumulation. The DVSA record is sparse, showing passes and fails but no advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions across the timeline. A buyer should physically verify why the February 2026 test failed with no defects recorded, as the VOSA entry may mask a withdrawn test or undocumented fault. Given the clean history with zero advisories, inspect structural integrity underneath for hidden rust, check coil springs and binding calipers for age-related fatigue, and confirm tyre tread depth and wiper condition. The repeated same-day fail and pass in March 2025 suggests the previous owner addressed a minor issue quickly, but the latest failure warrants caution before purchase.
