2020 Renault Kadjar 1.3L Petrol · SD20 OKN

The Renault Kadjar has maintained a consistent roadworthiness record across its three most recent MOT tests, all passing without defects at the July 2023, July 2024, and July 2025 examinations. This suggests the vehicle has been subject to either rigorous maintenance or favourable luck in avoiding major faults during testing. The most recent test, conducted just ten months ago at 54,743 miles, confirms no outstanding issues were detected, though this does not preclude hidden wear or deferred repairs. The absence of advisories or minor faults in any of these tests further implies the tester did not identify any recurring or latent problems requiring attention. The mileage progression of approximately 9,124 miles per year aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, without evidence of excessive wear or prolonged neglect. The intervals between tests are standard, with no gaps exceeding the 12-month MOT validity period, and no sudden spikes in mileage that might indicate rushed maintenance or deferred servicing. The recorded mileage at each test—29,378 in July 2023, 42,131 in July 2024, and 54,743 in July 2025—follows a steady, predictable pattern, reinforcing the impression of consistent, albeit not necessarily meticulous, ownership. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of high-wear components that are not routinely tested under MOT standards. Focus on the suspension system, particularly the condition of coil springs, bushes, and shock absorbers, as these are not covered by the MOT but can degrade silently over time. The brakes, while not flagged in tests, should be scrutinised for uneven wear, binding calipers, or excessive corrosion on the discs and pads, especially if the vehicle has been exposed to moisture or off-road use. Additionally, examine the underbody for signs of structural corrosion, particularly around the wheel arches, sills, and exhaust system, as these areas are critical for long-term integrity. The absence of advisories does not guarantee these areas are flawless, so visual and tactile inspection is essential.
