2020 Renault Kangoo 1.5L Diesel · RO70 WGP

The Renault Kangoo’s most recent MOT test on 2025-09-23 confirms it remains roadworthy, with no defects or advisories recorded. This marks a stable trend over the past two years, as the vehicle passed both its 2024 and 2023 tests without incident. The absence of recurring faults suggests no systematic neglect, though the failure dates in October 2023 and 2024—both just one day apart—appear anomalous and may warrant clarification from the seller, particularly if they coincide with servicing or ownership changes. The recorded mileage of 93,602 miles over six years equates to approximately 15,600 miles annually, which is elevated for a vehicle of this age. This suggests consistent use rather than prolonged storage, though it implies accelerated wear on high-stress components such as suspension bushes, brake calipers, and drivetrain synchronisers. The MOT history lacks intermediate tests, so there is no direct evidence of intermediate failures, but the high mileage demands scrutiny of consumables like tyres, brake pads, and wiper blades, which may require replacement sooner than standard intervals. Given the lack of recorded defects, a buyer should prioritise an inspection of suspension integrity, particularly the rear axle and bushes, as these are common failure points at this mileage. Binding brakes or uneven tyre wear would indicate neglected servicing, while excessive corrosion around wheel arches or sills could signal structural concerns. The repeated failures in October 2023 and 2024—despite passing tests—raise suspicion of administrative errors or undocumented issues; verifying service records for this period is essential. Finally, the exhaust system and emissions should be checked for leaks or excessive smoke, as these are frequently overlooked but critical for compliance.
