2016 Renault Kadjar 1.5L Diesel · RK66 RFF

The 2016 Renault Kadjar demonstrates stable roadworthiness, with the most recent MOT on 2025-05-29 confirming compliance at 112,664 miles. No defects were recorded in this test, and prior MOTs from 2023-08-19 and 2022-09-13 also passed without issues. The two failed tests in 2023 and 2022, however, occurred just one day apart with identical mileages (97,148 and 81,026 miles), suggesting potential administrative errors or inconsistent testing conditions. Despite this, the vehicle’s maintenance history shows no recurring mechanical faults, and the absence of defects in recent tests indicates a resolved or non-critical issue. The mileage of 112,664 miles over 10 years aligns with typical usage, averaging 11,266 miles annually. A notable jump from 81,028 miles (2022-09-13) to 97,150 miles (2023-08-19) reflects a 16,122-mile increase in 11 months, which may indicate heavier usage or infrequent MOTs. However, the lack of defects in subsequent tests suggests the vehicle has not suffered undue wear from this pattern. The sparse data between 2022 and 2025, combined with the recent pass, implies the car has been maintained to a standard meeting legal requirements. A buyer should inspect the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, as these components often degrade over time without immediate MOT failures. The rear brakes, which may have contributed to the 2023-08-18 failure, warrant closer examination for binding calipers or uneven brake disc wear. Additionally, the exhaust system and body corrosion should be checked, as these can develop gradually and evade MOT scrutiny. While the record shows no critical issues, the vehicle’s age and mileage justify a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm ongoing reliability.
