2007 Renault Kangoo 1.6L Petrol · PN07 BJO

The vehicle is currently unroadworthy following a failed inspection on April 2 2026 at 66,550 miles. The maintenance trend appears worsening, as recent mechanical failures include a fractured offside front coil spring and a fault in the supplementary restraint system warning lamp. While the vehicle passed its August 2025 test, the recent failure of critical safety and suspension components indicates that essential mechanical repairs are not being proactively addressed by the current owner. At 19 years old, the recorded mileage of 66,550 miles is exceptionally low, averaging approximately 3,500 miles per year. This low usage often correlates with less mechanical wear on drivetrain components, but it also suggests long periods of standing. Between the May 2023 and August 2024 tests, the vehicle covered only 6,612 miles, indicating a pattern of infrequent use. Such periods of inactivity can lead to the degradation of rubber components and accelerated corrosion, as evidenced by the insecure exhaust system and missing heat shield noted in earlier records. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension and chassis structural integrity, as low-mileage vehicles are prone to hidden rust despite age. The 2025 advisory regarding pitted front brake discs and the 2024 failure for uneven tyre wear suggest basic consumable maintenance is neglected. Furthermore, the SRS warning lamp fault requires a professional diagnostic check to ensure the airbag system is functional. The fractured coil spring is an immediate safety risk, and the buyer should demand rectification of all MOT failures and diagnostic faults before the vehicle can be considered roadworthy.
