2015 Renault Kangoo 1.5L Diesel · SH15 FOD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a shift toward reactive rather than preventative care. While the most recent test on 27 May 2025 at 106,170 miles resulted in a pass, it followed an immediate failure on the same day for multiple defects including headlamp alignment, brake pedal smoothness, and significant tyre degradation. This pattern suggests that components are only being addressed when they reach a legal failure_( rather than during routine servicing intervals. The mileage profile is consistent with an 11-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,650 miles per year. Between June 2023 at 93,675 miles and June 2024 at 99,449 miles, the van covered roughly 5,800 miles, showing slightly lower than average usage. However, the accumulation of 6,721 miles between June 2024 and May 2025 shows a return to normal usage levels which has accelerated the wear on rubber and mechanical components. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system and suspension. The May 2025 record flagged all four tyres as perished and cracking, with front tyres showing uneven wear on the outer edges, which often indicates an alignment issue or worn suspension bushes. The mention of discoloured enough fluid and a smooth brake pedal suggests that the hydraulic system has not been flushed in some time. Additionally, the offside windscreen and wiper assembly should be checked closely, as these have been recurring points of failure in recent years.
