2017 Renault Kangoo 1.5L Diesel · SB67 EJA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward minor electrical failures in recent years. The most recent test in December 2025 at 163,325 miles passed despite a failure for a non-obligatory stop lamp. This follows a failure in December 2024 regarding the central upper stop lamp. While the vehicle consistently passes the MOT test, the recurrence of lighting-related issues suggests a lack of pre-test inspections for basic consumable bulbs by the previous owner. At 163,325 miles over nine years, this Renault Kangoo reflects high annual usage, averaging approximately 18,000 miles per annum. The data indicates consistent heavy use, particularly evidenced by the 11,415 miles covered between November 2023 and December 2024, and another 7,561 miles between December 2024 and December 2025. This high rate of accumulation places significant mechanical stress on the drivetrain, suspension components, and braking system compared to lower-mileage examples. A buyer must prioritize a thorough inspection of the drivetrain, specifically addressing the failure in November 2023 for a split offside front outer drive shaft CV boot. High-mileage vans of this era are prone to grease leakage from torn boots which can lead to catastrophic joint failure. Given the mileage, the inspector should also verify the condition of suspension bushes and shock absorbers for excessive wear, as these components typically reach the end of their functional life around 150,000 miles. Checking the structural integrity of the chassis is also essential to ensure that high-mileage use has not accelerated corrosion.
