2015 Renault Kangoo 1.5L Diesel · SE15 GRF

The June 9 2026 test at 73,088 miles failed because the near‑side rear coil spring was fractured and the rear registration lamp was inoperative, making the vehicle not roadworthy. The pattern of failures shows a worsening mechanical condition, with repeated suspension spring breakages and persistent brake pipe corrosion across several tests, indicating that previous owners have not addressed underlying structural issues. The mileage has risen steadily from 54,847 miles in June 2021 to 73,088 miles in June 2026, averaging about 6,644 miles per year, which matches typical usage for an 11‑year‑old vehicle. Increments of roughly 3,500–4,000 miles per year are evident between most tests, with a larger jump of 2,900 miles from June 2025 to June 2026, suggesting continued regular operation without long periods of standing. A buyer should inspect the rear suspension geometry for cracked or broken coil springs, verify shock absorber mounting points, and assess the rear axle for rust, as these components have repeatedly failed. The history of corroded brake pipes and damp caliper dust boots requires a pressure test of the hydraulic system and replacement of any compromised lines. All four tyres show wear close to the legal limit, so tread depth and sidewall condition must be checked, and the inoperative rear registration lamp and split CV joint boot on the offside front drive shaft should be examined for functional integrity.
