2019 Renault Kangoo 1.5L Diesel · SF19 GWW

The most recent MOT history for this 2019 Renault Kangoo, tested just four months ago on 2026-03-20, reveals a stable but concerning pattern. Despite passing the test at 65,773 miles, the vehicle failed the previous attempt on 2026-03-20 at 65,771 miles—an identical mileage discrepancy suggesting either a retest or a deliberate attempt to bypass inspection. No defects were recorded in either instance, but the lack of advisories or warnings in the 2025 and 2024 tests means the tester did not flag any underlying issues. This implies the vehicle has likely passed all mandatory checks without major mechanical failings, though the absence of advisories could also indicate a tester overlooked subtle problems. The mileage progression of roughly 9,396 miles per year aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, though the gap between the 2024 test at 47,854 miles and the 2025 test at 52,108 miles—covering just 10 months—suggests accelerated driving rather than prolonged storage. The near-identical mileage on the 2026 retests is unusual and may warrant questioning the accuracy of the record, particularly if the vehicle was not driven between tests. No extended periods of inactivity are evident, which could mean higher wear on components like suspension bushes, brake pads, and tyres. Given the lack of advisories or recurring failures, the most critical areas for a buyer to inspect independently are the suspension geometry and condition of the coil springs, rear wheel bearings, and brake calipers. The absence of any binding brake or suspension faults in the MOT history does not guarantee they are sound, as such issues can sometimes pass initial inspection if not severe. Corrosion at wheel arches, subframes, and sills should also be examined closely, especially if the vehicle has been driven in salted or coastal environments. The tyres, while not explicitly mentioned, should be checked for uneven wear, which could indicate alignment or suspension issues. Finally, the exhaust system—particularly the catalytic converter and oxygen sensors—should be inspected for leaks or damage, as these are common failure points in Renaults of this era.
