2002 Renault Kangoo 1.4L Petrol · RY02 HKL

The vehicle presents a positive roadworthiness profile with a highly stable maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted in February 2026 at 58,703 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a history of passes in 2025 and 2023, indicating that once the minor failure in early 2024 was rectified, the vehicle has maintained a high standard of mechanical compliance without recurring mechanical issues. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 24-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,446 miles per year. Between February 2023 and February 2026, the vehicle covered 9,066 miles, showing a consistent but minimal usage pattern. While this low mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, the long intervals between tests can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based parts or fluid breakdown. The lack of recorded advisories in the 2025 and 2026 tests suggests the vehicle has been well-looked after despite the low annual-distance use. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on structural integrity and rubber components to account for age-related deterioration that MOT tests may not fully capture. Given the Renault's age, check the sills and wheel arches for structural corrosion, which is a common failure point for this model. The low mileage also necessitates inspecting the suspension bushes and brake hoses for cracking or perishation, as these materials can degrade over time regardless of the distance driven. Ensure the brake discs are free of heavy pitting, as infrequently used vehicles often suffer from surface rust on the rotors.
