2012 Renault Kangoo 1.5L Diesel · SA62 HFB

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent inspection on October 10 2025 at 57,189 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the history reveals a pattern of immediate failures followed by successful passes. In both 2024 and 2025, the vehicle failed the test just two days after the scheduled appointment, suggesting that the previous owner addressed specific mechanical issues only when prompted by a failure rather than following a preventative maintenance schedule. At 57,189 miles, the vehicle has averaged approximately 4,085 miles per year, which is significantly below the UK average for a fourteen-old Renault Kangoo. The data shows consistent low-intensity usage, with only 1,328 miles covered between September 2023 and September 2024, and just 536 miles between September 2024 and October 2025. While low mileage generally reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine, it also increases the risk of age-related degradation in rubber components and fluid breakdown due to periods of use. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection focusing on structural integrity and suspension components. Given the low mileage and age, check for significant surface corrosion on the sills and mounting points, as these are common failure areas for this model regardless of distance driven. Inspect the underside for perished suspension bushes and split rubber boots, which can degrade over time even without heavy use. Since the most recent failures did not list specific defect codes, verify the brake system for binding calipers or uneven disc wear to ensure the issues that caused the previous failures have been properly rectified.
