2007 Renault Kangoo 1.5L Diesel · RF07 URG

The 2007 Renault Kangoo’s most recent MOT test on 2025-10-20 confirms it remains roadworthy with no defects recorded at 197,487 miles. This marks a stable trend over the past three consecutive tests, with no advisories or failures since October 2023. The vehicle’s compliance with emissions, brakes, suspension, and structural checks suggests it has been maintained at a basic level, though the absence of advisories does not preclude hidden wear—particularly in high-mileage components like suspension bushes, coil springs, and drivetrain joints. The recorded mileage progression shows consistent usage, averaging around 10,400 miles annually, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden spikes in mileage between tests, though the near-identical mileage on the 2023 failure and pass (187,633 vs. 187,637) implies either a very short test window or a potential oversight in the record. The 2022 to 2023 interval (5,538 miles in 11 months) aligns with steady driving habits, but the lack of intermediate servicing records means wear on consumables—such as brake pads, tyres, and fluid levels—cannot be confirmed. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of suspension components, particularly the rear bushes and coil springs, which are prone to fatigue at this mileage. The brakes, though never failed, should be checked for uneven wear or binding calipers, as the absence of advisories does not rule out gradual deterioration. Structural integrity—especially around wheel arches, sills, and the subframe—must be scrutinised for corrosion, as rust can compromise safety without immediate MOT failure. Finally, the exhaust system and emissions controls warrant verification, as older vehicles often develop leaks or catalytic converter inefficiencies over time.
