2007 Renault Kangoo 1.1L Petrol · RX07 LPA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, showing a maintenance trend that has stabilized following a period of neglect. The most recent test in November 2025 at 64,591 miles passed without defects, beyond a minor advisory for surface corrosion on the oil sump. This follows a clean result in November 2024, indicating that the mechanical and safety issues that caused a failure in late 2023 were addressed and rectified by the previous owner. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a nineteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,400 miles per year. The data shows consistent but light usage, with roughly 3,500 miles driven between the 2024 and 2025 tests, and another 3,700 miles thereafter. While this low mileage generally reduces wear and tear on the engine and drivetrain, such long periods of standing often lead to the degradation of rubber components, seals, and fluids, which age due to age rather than mechanical friction. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system, as the November 2023 failure at 57,359 miles highlighted contaminated brake fluid and insufficient brake lever travel. While the vehicle has passed since, the fluid should be tested for moisture content and checked to ensure calipers have not seized due to inactivity. The recurring nearside mirror damage also remained a persistent issue between 2022 and 2023, suggesting minor cosmetic impacts that do not currently affect structural integrity but warrant noting. Given the vehicle's age and the surface corrosion noted on the sump in late 2025, a thorough check of the chassis and underbody is essential to ensure rust has not progressed beyond the surface level. The low mileage also necessitates an inspection of the suspension bushes and hoses for cracking or dry rot, which are common in older Renault that sit stationary for extended periods. The history suggests a vehicle that is maintained well enough to pass tests but one where age-related degradation requires a cautious physical evaluation.
