2020 Renault Kadjar 1.3L Petrol · SH20 NCO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on March 12 2026 at 44,951 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend shows signs of improvement following a mechanical failure in mid-2023. While the car previously required specific interventions, the two most recent clean passes suggest that the previous owner has addressed the flagged faults and brought the vehicle back to a standard level of operation. At 44,951 miles over six years, the Kadjar averages approximately 7,500 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage for a modern SUV. The mileage accumulation is consistent, with roughly 5,300 miles covered between the March 2025 and 2026 tests, and another 6,200 miles between 2024 and 2025. This steady usage suggests regular operation rather than long periods of stagnation which can cause brake seizing or component degradation. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension geometry, as the August 2023 failure highlighted a worn offside front suspension arm pin or bush. Although this was rectified for subsequent tests, these components are prone to premature wear on Renault models if alignment is not monitored. The buyer should also check for uneven tyre wear, as the 2025 advisory noted a central front inner tyre worn to the legal limit and on the edge, indicating a potential tracking issue that may not have been fully resolved. The braking system warrants a physical check following the 2023 failure for significantly worn rear brake discs. While the vehicle passed the following tests, a visual inspection of the disc thickness and caliper condition will ensure the repairs were carried out with quality parts. Given the clean record of the latest test, there is no evidence of structural corrosion or systemic mechanical failure that requires immediate attention.
