2017 Renault Kadjar 1.2L Petrol · PF17 VNO

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a recent shift from perfect records to developing deferred maintenance. While the car passed clean tests between 2022 and mid-2024, the November 2025 test at 24,222 miles revealed multiple brake and tyre defects. This indicates that while the vehicle is structurally sound, the owner has recently begun to address consumable wear after long periods of minimal use. The mileage profile is exceptionally low, recording only 24,222 miles over nine years. This averages to approximately 2,700 miles per year, which is significantly below the national average. The data shows a notable gap between June 2024 at 17,035 miles and November 2025, during which only roughly 7,000 miles were driven over seventeen months. Such low usage often leads to specific mechanical issues such as brake corrosion and flat-spotting tyres due to a lack of heat and friction generated from regular driving. A buyer must prioritize inspecting the braking system in person. The 2025 advisory specifically noted pitting and scoring on both front and rear brake discs along with thin rear pads. These issues are common in low-mileage cars that sit stationary, allowing moisture to corrode the metal surfaces. You should also check the rear tyres specifically, as the previous test flagged both the nearside and offside tyres as reaching the legal limit with uneven wear, which may suggest alignment issues or simply the end of the rubber's shelf life.
