2017 Renault Kadjar 1.5L Diesel · RV17 FCF

The vehicle remains currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT test in March 2026 at 74,171 miles. While the car has passed consecutive tests, the maintenance trend shows a recent shift toward reactive care regarding consumables. After two years of clean records in 2023 and 2024, the two most recent inspections flagged recurring issues with tyre condition, suggesting that preventative maintenance on rubber components has neglected recently. The mileage profile is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,200 miles per year. Between the March 2022 test at 43,730 miles and the March 2026 test at 74,171 miles, the car covered over 30,000 miles, indicating steady and predictable usage patterns. There is no evidence of long periods of stationary or rapid mileage spikes that would accelerate drivetrain wear, though the accumulation puts the vehicle into a bracket of expected wear for suspension-related components. A buyer must inspect the front geometry and suspension components due to the uneven wear noted on both the nearside and offside front tyres in March 2025. The specific mention of tyres being worn smooth on the inner edges frequently points to misalignment, worn ball arm bushes, or faulty strut tops. Additionally, the rear brake system should be verified, as the tester flagged thin pads in 2022, and while these have passed since, the physical state of the components may be nearing replacement given the current mileage.
