2018 Renault Kadjar 1.2L Petrol · RJ18 ACO

The 2018 Renault Kadjar exhibits a stable roadworthiness trend, with no defects recorded in its last five consecutive MOT tests, including the most recent 2025-06-13 assessment at 43,081 miles. All tests from 2021 to 2025 show consistent compliance, indicating reliable maintenance practices by previous owners. No structural, braking, or emission-related issues were flagged, suggesting the vehicle has been operated within acceptable parameters. The absence of advisories or failures over this period implies no emerging mechanical risks, though low mileage and annual testing do not inherently guarantee long-term reliability. The vehicle’s mileage of 43,081 miles at age eight years equates to approximately 5,385 miles annually, a rate below the UK average for its age. This pattern aligns with yearly MOT intervals, showing no abrupt spikes or prolonged inactivity. From 2021 to 2025, mileage increased by roughly 7,000–8,000 miles per year, reflecting steady usage without excessive wear. The clean MOT history suggests no significant mechanical degradation, though low mileage may mask potential issues related to infrequent use, such as degraded rubber components or seized joints. A buyer should verify the vehicle’s service history beyond MOT records, focusing on engine, transmission, and cabin electronics, which are not assessed in MOTs. Inspect suspension components for wear, as low mileage may not fully reflect dynamic stress. Check for corrosion around wheel arches and underbody panels, as these are not typically flagged in MOTs. While the record shows no red flags, a pre-purchase inspection is advisable to confirm the absence of hidden faults, particularly in systems not tested during MOTs.
