2010 Renault Kangoo 1.5L Diesel · NV10 CSX

The vehicle presents a concerning maintenance trend characterized by deferred repairs and recurring failures of safety-critical components. While it passed its most recent test in November 2024 at 124,565 miles, the record reveals a high volume of advisories related to suspension and braking systems. The condition is not improving, as issues like worn ball joints and track rod ends persist across multiple years, suggesting that components are only addressed when they reach a failure point rather than through a preventative maintenance schedule. At 124,565 miles, the Renault Kangoo reflects an average of approximately 7,800 miles per year, which is consistent with typical light use for its age. However, the data shows a significant gap in testing between May 2022 and July 2023, where the vehicle covered over 10,000 miles in just fourteen months. The failure in July 2023 at 112,856 miles was particularly extensive, involving an SRS warning lamp and an inoperative parking brake, indicating a period of significant neglect regarding basic vehicle safety and illumination. A buyer must prioritize a thorough inspection of the front suspension geometry. The history consistently flags play in ball joints and track rod ends, which can affect steering precision and cause tyre wear. The offside front outer drive shaft CV boot was noted as severely deteriorated in both 2023 and 2024; this must be replaced immediately to prevent catastrophic failure of the gearbox. Additionally, the braking system requires attention as recurring pitting on discs and thin pads have been documented consistently since 2022, indicating the components are nearing the end of their functional life.
