2014 Renault Kangoo 1.5L Diesel · SF14 GNE

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a reactive approach to repairs rather than proactive prevention. While the most recent test in October 2025 at 90,077 miles passed, the advisory for both rear tyres wearing unevenly suggests an ongoing alignment issue. This follows a pattern of neglected consumables, seen previously in 2023 when an offside rear tyre failed at 1.6mm. The trend is stable in terms of passing, but mechanical faults are only addressed once they reach failure thresholds or advisory stages. At 90,077 miles, this 12-year-old Renault Kangoo averages roughly 7,500 miles per year, which is consistent with typical light commercial or domestic use. The mileage record shows a steady progression of approximately 7,000 miles between May 2022 and May 2023, and another 7,728 miles between October 2024 and October 2025. This consistent usage suggests the vehicle has not sat stationary for long periods, which is generally beneficial for seals and mechanical components, though it accelerates component wear. A buyer must closely inspect the suspension and braking system due to recurring reports of corrosion and wear. The tester flagged corroded front shock absorbers in 2023 and corroded rear brake discs in 2024. The presence of an engine oil leak noted in 2023 also requires a physical inspection to ensure it remains non-excessive and has not worsened since the test. Furthermore, the previous report of play in the offside track rod end and a distorted wheel rim in 2022 indicate that the steering and suspension geometry may have suffered stress, necessitating a thorough check of all bushes and joints today.
