2003 Renault Kangoo 1.1L Petrol · RX03 WYU

The vehicle has a current roadworthiness status of PASSED, but the MOT history indicates a significant trend of worsening maintenance conditions, particularly concerning suspension and structural integrity. The most recent test on 2026-02-16 at 64,175 miles was passed, yet this date is far in the future relative to the vehicle's age of 23 years, suggesting that the last valid MOT was taken only recently. This gap between the 2026 test and the 2023 test reveals a clear pattern of accelerating wear and deterioration, where the vehicle was not maintained at a consistent interval or with appropriate attention to wear and tear. The mileage accumulation over two decades is not uniform; it is characterized by rapid accumulation of consumables and structural damage. Between 2023 and 2024, the mileage increased from 59,513 to 60,974 miles, a 1,461-mile gain that includes significant wear on brake discs and oil leaks, indicating that the vehicle was driven without regular servicing or that the owner relied on a single, potentially insufficient, maintenance cycle. The 2025 test at 60,974 miles was also passed, but this date is 20 years and 10 months into the vehicle's life, which is an extremely long gap for a vehicle of this age. The consistent increase in mileage since 2023, coupled with the failure of the 2023 test at 59,508 miles, suggests that the vehicle has likely been driven for over two years without major interventions, leading to accelerated failure of critical components like brakes and the suspension system. Based on these findings, the buyer must inspect the vehicle immediately for structural and mechanical risks that are not present in the MOT record. The history explicitly flags multiple points of failure: the suspension bushes and anti-roll bar linkage pins have been worn excessively in both the rear and front, and the wheel bearings and track rod end ball joints show excessive play, indicating severe bearing wear that will likely lead to a total loss of suspension integrity. Furthermore, the brake disc and pipe have been pitted or scored, and the inner vehicle structure has been corroded, which may compromise the wheel arches and the vehicle's overall structural rigidity. Given the severe wear on the suspension and the extensive corrosion of the inner vehicle structure, the vehicle is not roadworthy for any distance beyond a very short distance, and the buyer must arrange for a professional assessment to determine the specific extent of the damage and the need for immediate repairs.
