2016 Renault Kadjar 1.5L Diesel · SA66 NXW

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a history of consistent passing despite minor mechanical setbacks. The most recent test in March 2026 at 72,159 miles resulted in an initial failure due to an ineffective offside front windscreen wiper and an obscured seatbelt caused by a rear child seat. These issues were superficial and rectified immediately to pass the retest. The record shows no deep-seated mechanical failures or structural defects emerging over the testing period. The" pattern is consistent with the vehicle's ten-year age, averaging approximately 7,200 miles per annum. Between March 2023 (55,627 miles) and March 2026 (72,159 miles), the car covered roughly 16,500 miles, indicating regular and predictable use. This steady mileage is generally favourable for components such as seals and suspension assemblies, which remain active and avoid the type of corrosion or seizing often associated with long periods of inactivity. A prospective buyer should pay specific attention to the braking system, as the March 2024 test at 59,766 miles flagged both front brake discs as being pitted or scored. While this was not a failure at the time, it indicates the start of surface oxidation or wear-related degradation. An onsite inspection should verify the current thickness and surface condition of the rotors to ensure they have not progressed toward thinning. Given the wiper failure in 2026, the wiper blades and motor should be checked for cracks or erraticion to ensure clear visibility remains optimal.
