2010 Renault Kangoo 1.5L Diesel · NV60 MYM

The vehicle shows a pattern of reactive maintenance rather than proactive care, with the most recent test on 6 January 2026 at 151,645 miles passing despite advisories for both nearside and offside front tyres being worn close to the legal limit. While the vehicle is currently roadworthy, the history indicates a recurring trend of neglecting consumable components until they reach a failure or advisory state. The maintenance profile is inconsistent, fluctuating between clean passes and multiple failures involving suspension and lighting. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 9,500 miles per year. The records show steady usage from 62,923 miles in December 2016 to 151,645 miles in early 2026. There are no significant gaps in testing that would suggest long periods of inactivity, though the frequency of failures suggests the owner tends to address mechanical issues only when prompted by the MOT inspection process. A prospective buyer should focus heavily on the front suspension and steering components. The record shows repeated issues with track rod end ball joints, specifically noting excessive play in October 2023 and again in October 2022. The CV boots have also been a recurring fault, with a split nearside front outer drive shaft joint boot causing a failure in October 2023 and severe deterioration noted in January 2021. These issues suggest the steering geometry and drivetrain seals require close physical inspection to ensure recent repairs were thorough. Braking components and tyres also require scrutiny. The tester flagged worn brake pads in October 2022 and pitted brake discs in January 2019, indicating that the braking system is subject to standard wear but may not be serviced regularly. Given the recent advisory for front tyres in January 2026, the buyer should check the remaining tread depth and look for uneven wear patterns that might indicate underlying alignment or suspension bush issues.
