2008 Renault Kangoo 1.5L Diesel · RO08 VGK

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, but the maintenance trend shows a reactive rather than proactive approach. While it passed its most recent test in February 2026 at 105,890 miles, it failed just one day prior due to multiple safety concerns. The recurring presence of thin front inner brake pads and an insecure battery across the 2025 and 2026 tests indicates that essential components are only being addressed when necessary to pass the annual inspection. At 18 years old, the recorded mileage of 105,890 miles represents an average usage of approximately 5,883 miles per year, which is significantly low for a commercial vehicle. However, the data shows a recent burst of activity between March 2024 and February 2026, where the vehicle covered over 5,500 miles in under two years. The low annual mileage profile often leads to the degradation of rubber components and dry seals, which may contribute to the consistent issues seen with worn tyres and suspension components noted in the history. A buyer must prioritize inspecting the ABS system, which recently triggered a failure in the February 2026 test. This electronic fault requires a diagnostic scan to determine if it is a simple sensor failure or a deeper hydraulic issue. The history also highlights issues with the nearside front anti-roll bar linkage, which failed in 2024. The recurring pattern of uneven tyre wear across multiple years suggests a persistent alignment problem or worn suspension bushes that require immediate attention to prevent premature tyre replacement.
