2018 Renault Kadjar 1.3L Petrol · SB68 EOC

The Kadjar presents a current roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 27 November 2025 at 43,747 miles. Across five recorded tests spanning late 2021 to late 2025, the vehicle has not failed an MOT, and the only advisories logged relate to brake components and a single tyre issue. The trend is broadly stable, though the 2025 test did mark a step up in advisory items, with both rear brake pads and rear brake discs noted as wearing. A clean pass in 2023 with no recorded defects is the high point of the history, so the most recent result is a slight regression rather than a worsening, but it is a signal worth monitoring. Annual mileage is notably low. The vehicle accumulated roughly 43,747 miles over eight years, equating to an average of about 5,468 miles per year, and the gaps between tests are modest. Without intermediate odometer readings it is difficult to confirm exact year-on-year accumulation, but the overall low figure suggests light use or extended periods of standing. Lower mileage reduces wear on major drivetrain components, though it can also accelerate issues such as corrosion of underbody and brake components, dried seals, and deteriorated tyre rubber from prolonged static storage. Given the most recent advisories both concern the rear brakes, prolonged standing is a plausible contributor. A buyer should pay particular attention to the rear braking system in person. The 2025 advisory noted the rear pads wearing thin alongside pitted or scored rear discs, so a physical inspection of pad thickness, disc surface condition, and caliper operation is sensible, including checks for binding or uneven wear. A road test should confirm straight-line stability and absence of pulling. Given the low annual mileage, it is also prudent to inspect the underside for surface corrosion, to check tyre manufacture dates and sidewall condition for age-related cracking, and to verify the condition of brake fluid, coolant, and other fluids that deteriorate with time regardless of distance covered. Finally, suspension components such as coil springs and bushes should be examined for any sagging or perishing, as these can deteriorate through underuse as readily as through heavy use.
