2019 Renault Kadjar 1.3L Petrol · SC19 XDK

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a worsening pattern of deferred attention to wear and tear. The most recent test in March 2026 at 27,305 miles identified multiple advisories regarding the braking system, exhaust hardware, and tyre condition. While the car passes, the recurring nature of pitted and scored brake discs across three consecutive years suggests that components are only being monitored until they approach failure rather than being replaced proactively. At 27,305 miles over seven years, this Kadjar has clocked significantly low mileage, averaging approximately 3,900 miles per year. This low usage often correlates with the specific issues noted in the record, such as the perishing of tyres found in 2025 and 2026, which occurs when a vehicle sits for long periods allowing rubber components to degrade and metal surfaces to rust. The mileage accumulation between 2022 and 2026 remains consistent at roughly 4,000 miles annually, which is insufficient to prevent the atmospheric corrosion seen on mechanical components. A buyer must inspect the braking assembly thoroughly, as the record shows persistent surface pitting and scoring on all four discs since 2024. The 2025 advisory regarding worn front lower suspension arm bushes on both sides should be checked for physical play, despite the low mileage. Additionally, the corroding central exhaust supports noted in 2024 and 2026 require a physical inspection to ensure the structural integrity of the exhaust system is not compromised. Given the perishing tyres mentioned, the age of the rubber should be evaluated for sidewall cracking regardless of the remaining tread depth.
