2013 Renault Kangoo 1.5L Diesel · SD13 MPY

The vehicle currently presents a questionable roadworthiness state with a clear trend of reactive rather than preventative maintenance. While it passed its latest test in February 2025 at 226,192 miles, this success followed a significant failure just ten days prior. The history shows a pattern of allowing critical components to deteriorate until they reach the point of failure, suggesting that the owner only addresses faults when legally mandated in order to keep the vehicle on the road. At 226,192 miles, this 13-year-old Renault has covered significant ground, averaging over 17,000 miles per year. The data reveals a period of intense use between November 2022 and January 2025, where the vehicle covered over 3,000 miles in just two months. This high mileage indicates consistent commercial or heavy use, which places immense stress on the suspension and braking systems. The rapid wear is evidenced by the repeated failures of coil springs and the constant thinning of brake lines. A buyer must prioritise a thorough inspection of the braking system due to persistent corrosion. The tester flagged corroded brake pipes in 2021, 2022, and 2025, indicating that the metal lines are thinning across the entire vehicle. Furthermore, the failure of three coil springs simultaneously in January 2025 suggests the rear and front suspension assembly is reaching the end of its service life. You should check for deeper structural rust on the suspension arms, as the noted corrosion on the nearside front arm in the latest test remains a high-risk area for future structural failure.
