2011 Renault Kangoo 1.5L Diesel · NU11 AMV

The January 2024 MOT at 196,888 miles recorded a FAIL with no defects listed, meaning the vehicle was not judged roadworthy despite the absence of recorded faults. The alternating pass and fail history from 2021 through 2024 shows an unstable maintenance trend rather than steady improvement. The odometer reading of 196,888 miles after roughly fifteen years equates to about 13,126 miles per year, a rate that is high for a vehicle of this age and suggests considerable use of consumable items such as tyres, wiper blades and brake pads. Mileage jumps are evident: from 192,335 miles on 9 August 2021 to 195,382 miles on 23 November 2022, an increase of 3,047 miles over fifteen months, while the subsequent two tests in November 2022 showed identical readings, indicating the vehicle remained stationary for short periods. A buyer should therefore inspect the condition of suspension bushes, coil springs and shock absorbers for wear or binding, examine rear brake calipers and discs for seizing or excessive wear, and look for structural rust on chassis rails and wheel arches. The lack of recorded defects in the most recent test does not guarantee the absence of hidden corrosion or worn drivetrain components, so a thorough visual and functional check of the exhaust system, structural integrity and tyre tread depth is essential before purchase.
