2016 Renault Kadjar 1.5L Diesel · SC16 JWA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test in June 2025 at 99,020 miles resulted in a pass following a failure due to a malfunctioning tyre pressure monitoring system and reduced offside rear stop lamp intensity. While the vehicle has passed its annual inspections, the recurring failures regarding lighting and electronic systems suggest that the previous owner only addressed faults when prompted by the tester rather than performing routine preventative checks. At 99,020 miles over ten years, the Renault Kadjar has averaged approximately 10,000 miles per year, which aligns closely with national averages for a family vehicle of this age. The mileage shows consistent usage, with a 10,000-mile interval between June 2023 and July 2024, and another 9,369 miles covered between July 2024 and June 2025. This steady accumulation indicates the vehicle has been used regularly, which typically helps prevent-related degradation of rubber components and braking hardware. A buyer must focus inspection on the front suspension and braking system. The June 2023 failure at 79,620 miles highlighted excessive play in the offside front track rod end ball joint, while the July 2024 test at 89,651 miles identified a worn nearside front suspension arm bush and pitted front brake discs. Given these components are subject to high wear, a physical inspection should check for any remaining play in the steering geometry and ensure the suspension bushes have been replaced rather than patched. The repeated failure of the tyre pressure monitoring system in both 2023 and 2025 suggests a persistent sensor fault or wiring issue that may not have been fully resolved.
