2010 Renault Kangoo 1.5L Diesel · NV10 CPF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history shows a worsening trend regarding suspension and drivetrain components. While it passed its most recent test in February 2026 at 129,137 miles, the tester flagged multiple advisories related to front-end wear. The recurring presence of play in the track rod ends and suspension arm ball joints, combined with a severely deteriorated nearside front drive shaft CV boot, indicates that the steering and suspension assembly is reaching the end of its service life and requires proactive replacement. At 129,137 miles over 16 years, the Renault Kangoo averages approximately 8,000 miles per year, which is consistent with a light commercial profile. There is a significant gap in records between December 2022 and January 2024, during which the vehicle covered nearly 9,000 miles. Since that point, the mileage has increased steadily, roughly 30,000 miles over the last two years. This usage pattern correlates with the frequency of mechanical failures observed, such as the fractured offside front coil spring noted in early 2024. A buyer must personally inspect the front suspension for signs of excessive play, as the record shows ball joints and track rod ends failing or deteriorating across three consecutive testing periods. The nearside front CV boot is a critical point of concern; failure to replace it immediately will lead to rapid failure of the drive shaft joint. Additionally, the braking system requires attention. The January 2025 test noted the parking brake only just met efficiency requirements with thin pads on all axles, and the distorted nearside rear wheel mentioned in 2024 should still be checked for vibrations or uneven tire wear during driving.
