2021 Renault Kangoo 1.5L Diesel · R777 OSS

High annual mileage and a recurring pattern of tyre wear advisories define the mechanical profile of this Renault Kangoo. The most recent MOT test on 03 December 2025 resulted in a pass, yet it carried an advisory for the offside front tyre being worn close to the legal limit and worn on the edge. This follows a similar advisory from the 26 November 2024 test, which flagged both the offside front and offside rear tyres for edge wear and approaching legal limits. The consistency of these advisories suggests a persistent issue with tyre degradation patterns rather than an isolated incident. The vehicle has covered 126,785 miles in approximately five years, representing an average annual accumulation of roughly 25,357 miles. This usage level is significantly higher than the UK average for a vehicle of this age and indicates heavy, consistent road use. Mechanically, such high mileage increases the likelihood of accelerated wear across all consumable components, including suspension bushings, brake discs, and drivetrain elements, which may be approaching the end of their service life sooner than a lower-mileage equivalent. Given the repeated advisories regarding tyres being worn on the edges, a prospective buyer should focus heavily on the vehicle's wheel alignment and suspension geometry. Edge wear is often a symptom of incorrect camber or toe settings, which can be caused by worn suspension components such as control arm bushes, ball joints, or tie rod ends. During a test drive, pay close attention to whether the vehicle pulls to one side under braking or during straight-line cruising, and listen for any knocks or knocks from the front end when traversing uneven surfaces or speed bumps, as these could indicate failing suspension linkages. Furthermore, the high mileage necessitates a thorough inspection of the braking system and drivetrain. While no specific brake defects were recorded in the MOT history, the heavy usage profile means the brake pads, discs, and calipers should be checked for uneven wear or binding. It is also advisable to monitor for any signs of fluid leaks or excessive vibration from the engine and gearbox, as the high annual mileage puts sustained stress on these primary mechanical systems.
