2018 Renault Kadjar 1.5L Diesel · SA18 EBZ

The Renault Kadjar presents as roadworthy following the most recent test on 27 March 2026 at 58,785 miles, where the tester issued a pass with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the three years of available history, with each annual examination clearing the vehicle on the pass re-run. A recurring administrative pattern appears in the record: on both 24 March 2025 at 55,237 miles and 27 March 2026 at 58,785 miles the car first failed with no defects listed before immediately passing the same day, which points to a documentation or process anomaly at the testing station rather than a mechanical fault. The odometer shows 51,179 miles at the 22 March 2024 test, rising to 55,237 miles by March 2025 and 58,785 miles by March 2026. That equates to roughly 3,400 to 4,000 miles added per year, well below the 7,348 miles per annum average for an eight-year-old vehicle of this type. The low annual accumulation suggests lighter use, though the identical-mileage fail-then-pass entries on the two recent dates leave a narrow window to judge in-service wear between tests. No gaps exist in the annual cadence, and the clean defect lists give no evidence of deferred consumable replacement. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's age and the limits of a no-defect MOT screen. The DVSA record flags no corrosion, exhaust emissions breaches, or structural integrity concerns across any test, which is a positive signal for a 2018 derivative. Verify the VIN and test station details behind the same-day fail-and-pass entries, as the zero-defect failures warrant confirmation that no advisory items were quietly cleared. Given the absence of recorded advisories on tyres, wiper blades, or binding calipers, previous keepers appear to have presented the Kadjar in test-ready condition. The low mileage and clean sheets imply careful ownership, but a pre-purchase check of underbody rust protection and drivetrain oil condition remains sensible on a vehicle now eight years old.
