Our Verdict
This 2018 Renault Kadjar presents a relatively clean MOT history with low mileage for its age, making it an interesting option for prospective buyers. However, you should carefully verify the circumstances behind the single recorded failure in February 2026 before committing.
When viewing this 2018 Renault Kadjar, inspect the paperwork to understand why the vehicle failed its MOT test on 13th February 2026 before passing a re-test three days later on 16th February 2026 with no recorded defects. Check that all standard maintenance has been carried out in line with the mileage, and confirm the condition of the tyres, headlamps, and suspension components, which are common failure points across the Kadjar model range.
Negotiate on price if there are any outstanding service items or cosmetic imperfections not captured by the MOT test. Ensure you inspect the physical condition of the bodywork and interior alongside a full check of the vehicle's history and documentation.
Equipped with a 1330cc petrol engine, this Renault Kadjar sits in a moderate insurance group and falls into standard VED tax bands for petrol vehicles of its era. Fuel economy should align with typical compact SUV figures for petrol variants, provided it is driven efficiently.
Maintenance costs should remain manageable given the below-average mileage of 49,093 miles, though buyers should budget for routine servicing, periodic tyre replacements, and general wear-and-tear items typical of a vehicle approaching eight years on the road.
Pay close attention to the areas most commonly flagged in model-wide MOT data for the Renault Kadjar, specifically tyres, headlamps, and suspension arms. Even though recent tests show no advisories, a thorough physical inspection of the suspension bushes, shock absorbers, and steering components is strongly recommended.
Verify the operation of all exterior lighting and check the remaining tread depth and overall condition of all four tyres. Inspect the brake discs and pads for wear, and ensure the 1330cc petrol engine idles smoothly without any unusual noises.
First registered in December 2018, this blue petrol Renault Kadjar features a 1330cc engine and has covered 49,093 miles as of February 2026. Its mileage is comfortably below the model average of approximately 59,925 miles for a vehicle of this age. The MOT record shows four passes and one failure across five tests, with no advisories noted on any of the recent certificates.
The Renault Kadjar achieves an average MOT pass rate of 83.4% across the model range, with tyres, headlamps, and suspension arms forming the top failure reasons.

Common Problems: RENAULT KADJAR
Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.
- 1.2 TCe Oil Consumption (H5F Engine)(Serious)
The early 1.2 TCe engine can burn oil heavily and, if neglected, suffer compression loss or major engine damage. This was a significant issue for early Kadjars before the 1.3 TCe engine was introduced.
- EDC Gearbox Shudder and Hesitation(Serious)
The dual-clutch automatic can feel hesitant, jerky, or shudder at low speed, particularly in UK stop-start traffic. It may require software updates or expensive hardware repairs.
