2007 Renault Kangoo 1.5L Diesel · NU07 CEX

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, though the record indicates a pattern of pre-test preparation. The most recent inspection on 29 March 2024 at 133,180 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following a failure on the same day. This sequence mirrors the 28 March 2023 test at 129,224 miles, where a failure immediately preceded a pass. These recurring failures suggest the previous owners identify and rectify faults specifically to pass the MOT appointment rather than maintaining the vehicle to a preventative standard throughout the year. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a nineteen-year-old light commercial, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per year. Between April 2022 and March 2023, the vehicle covered 3,963 miles, while the interval between March 2023 and March 2024 saw 3,956 miles. This low and steady usage suggests light duty, which typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine but can increase the age of rubber-based components and seals. The lack of advisories from 2022 onwards highlights that the vehicle has either been recently maintained or has not faced significant mechanical stress during these mileage intervals. A buyer should focus the physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis, as older Renault Kangos are prone to corrosion in the sills and rear wheel arches. Despite the clean pass records, the repeated failures indicate that suspension bushes, exhaust components, or lighting elements frequently sit at the limit of their tolerance. Given the age, check for seized brake caliper sliders and perished coil springs to ensure the low mileage has not masked long-term degradation of critical safety components.
