2015 Renault Kangoo 1.5L Diesel · PJ64 WFS

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a worsening trend of reactive rather than proactive care. While it passed its most recent test on 21 July 2026 at 197,558 miles, this followed a significant failure just nine days prior. That failure highlighted a critical accumulation of mechanical neglect including a fractured nearside rear coil spring, a deteriorated offside front CV boot, and play in the track rod end. The recurrence of lighting and battery issues suggests that the vehicle is only being repaired when necessary to pass the MOT, rather than through a scheduled service regime. At 197,558 miles, this 11-year-old Renault has covered significant mileage, averaging nearly 18,000 miles per year. The data shows an acceleration in use in recent years, with 40,000 miles covered between June 2021 and July 2026. This high usage puts immense strain on the drivetrain and suspension components. The transition from a clean record in 2018 and 2021 to multiple failures in 2026 indicates that the vehicle is now being subjected to heavy commercial use which has accelerated the wear of consumable and structural parts. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the braking system and suspension geometry. The front brake discs have been flagged as pitted and scored consistently since least 2024, indicating they have likely been replaced despite the high mileage. The recent failure of the coil spring and track rod end suggests the entire undercarriage assembly should be checked for further fatigue, perished bushes, or corrosion on high-load components. Furthermore, the recurring issue of tyres wearing unevenly on edges suggests potential alignment issues or a failure to monitor basic safety before they reach the legal limit.
