2016 Renault Kangoo 1.5L Diesel · SJ16 ACG

The vehicle is currently in a roadworthy state based on the most recent MOT pass on 23 October 2025. The maintenance trend appears exceptionally stable. There are no recorded defects or advisories across the last three years of testing, which is unusual for a commercial vehicle of this age and usage. The mileage is high for a ten year old vehicle, averaging over 13,000 miles per year. The accumulation has accelerated recently. Between the October 2023 test at 98,509 miles and the October 2024 test at 116,466 miles, the vehicle covered 17,957 miles. This trend continued into the October 2025 test, adding another 15,857 miles to reach the current 132,323 miles. The absence of any recorded advisories for suspension bushes, brake disc wear, or corrosion is atypical for a high-mileage Renault Kangoo. The record shows two instances where the vehicle failed and passed on the same day, specifically on 16 October 2024 and 21 October 2025, though the DVSA data does not specify the faults corrected. This suggests a pattern of minor, immediate repairs to clear the test. A buyer should physically inspect the underside for structural rust and check the condition of the coil springs and shock absorbers. Given the high mileage and the suspiciously clean MOT history, verifying the service intervals for the timing belt and clutch is essential. The lack of noted wear on consumables over 33,000 miles suggests that maintenance may have been performed outside of the MOT process, or that the tester was lenient.
