2014 Renault Kangoo 1.5L Diesel · NV64 SWN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a shift toward reactive repairs rather than preventative care. The most recent MOT test in April 2025 at 109,955 miles resulted in a failure due to lighting issues and serious tyre defects. While the vehicle passed the subsequent retest, the presence of a corroded rear brake pipe and a tyre with exposed cords suggests that safety-critical components were overlooked until they reached a point of legal failure. At a recorded mileage of 109,955 miles, the Renault Kangoo has averaged approximately 9,163 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage patterns for a twelve-year-old light commercial vehicle. The data shows consistent use between 2022 and 2025, with annual increases ranging between 7,000 and 8,500 miles. The clean records from the tests in 2023 and 2024 contrast with the defects found in 2025, suggesting that while the vehicle was maintained well for a period, maintenance standards have declined in the most recent interval. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the braking system and suspension integrity. The April 2025 failure flagged a corroded rear brake pipe covered in grease, which is a concerning sign as grease is often used to hide structural degradation or leaks. The recurring issues with uneven tyre wear, noted in 2022 and 2025, indicate potential alignment problems or worn suspension bushes that require professional attention. The buyer should also check for further rust on the chassis and underbody to ensure the corrosion found on the brake lines is not an isolated incident.
