2019 Renault Kadjar S Edition Blue DCI 1.5L Diesel · OGZ 2645

The most recent MOT test on 2025-10-16 confirms the vehicle remains roadworthy, though the immediate preceding test on 2025-10-14—just two days earlier—was a failure without recorded defects. This anomaly suggests either a temporary administrative oversight or a last-minute correction, but no substantive mechanical issues were identified in either instance. The absence of advisories or recurring faults in the 2023 test at 40,352 miles indicates no clear pattern of worsening conditions. However, the lack of intermediate tests between 2023 and 2025—spanning 24,749 miles—means critical wear patterns could have developed undocumented. The current MOT is valid for another 12 months, but the irregularity in testing warrants closer scrutiny of high-wear components. The recorded mileage of 61,101 miles over seven years equates to approximately 8,729 miles annually, which aligns with typical usage for this vehicle’s age. There are no obvious signs of prolonged neglect, such as extended periods of inactivity, nor does the mileage suggest aggressive driving. The gap between the 2023 and 2025 tests—covering 20,749 miles—is unusually long for a vehicle of this type, as most owners opt for annual or bi-annual inspections. This omission could imply either a change in ownership mid-cycle or a deliberate deferral of maintenance, potentially masking underlying issues. Given the sparse MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of suspension components, particularly the rear axle bushes and coil springs, which are prone to fatigue at this mileage. The binding brake warning in the 2025 failure—though not repeated—suggests the rear calipers or pads may require reassessment for uneven wear or corrosion. Tyres, while not explicitly flagged, should be checked for uneven tread depth or structural damage, as the failure history implies basic upkeep may have been inconsistent. Structural integrity, especially around wheel arches and sills, should also be examined for corrosion, given the vehicle’s age and exposure history. No advisories in the record mean no prior warnings of imminent failure, but the irregular testing timeline justifies thoroughness.
