2018 Renault Kadjar 1.5L Diesel · RV18 HRW

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT test in February 2026 at 85,176 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend appears stable following a period of minor failures in early 2025 which were immediately rectified. The return to a clean test sheet indicates that the current owner is responsive to addressing safety-critical items once they are flagged by the testing centre. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical UK usage for a family SUV, averaging approximately 10,600 miles per annum. Between February 2024 and February 2025, the car covered 12,278 miles, representing a slight increase in annual mileage compared to the previous period where it covered 8,832 miles between the February 2023 and 2024 tests. This steady usage pattern suggests the vehicle is driven regularly, which is generally beneficial for preventing mechanical components from seizing due to periods of inactivity. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the rear braking system and visibility components. The February 2025 failure specifically highlighted pitted and scored rear brake discs, which often indicates long periods of sitting or active brake calipers. While these were replaced or serviced to pass the subsequent test, an inspection should check for even pad wear and ensure the calipers are not binding. Additionally, the tyre pressure monitoring system warning lamp recorded in 2025 should be verified as currently extinguished to ensure the sensors are fully functional and not merely cleared of a code.
