2011 Renault Kangoo 1.5L Diesel · NX11 VPR

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a concerning trend of reactive rather than proactive repairs. While it passed the most recent test in March 2026 at 129,063 miles, the tester presented with multiple advisories regarding braking components and drivetrain integrity. The recurring nature of the offside front drive shaft CV boot failure, which appeared across 2024 and 2026, suggests that the owner only addresses mechanical faults once they reach an MOT failure point. The mileage pattern is consistent with a light-use vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 8,600 miles per annum. There is a notable gap of 6,000 miles between February 2024 and March 2025, followed by only 723 miles between March 2025 and March 2026. This recent accumulation suggests the van is used regularly, though the low annual mileage has not prevented the environmental degradation of rubber components and metalwork, as evidenced by the persistent corrosion noted in the brake lines. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system and suspension assembly. The record consistently flags corrosion on the rear brake pipes, obscured by grease, which indicates potential structural thinning that could lead to fluid leaks. Furthermore, both front and rear brake pads were noted as wearing thin as of March 2026, meaning they are likely nearing their service limit. The offside front drive shaft should be checked for grease leakage, as the CV boot has a history of repeated failure over multiple years.
