2017 Renault Kadjar 1.2L Petrol · SN67 UGP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the most recent inspection indicates a shift from perfect maintenance to reactive repairs. While the car maintained a clean record between 2023 and 2025, the April 2026 test at 77,791 miles revealed a failure due to suspension and brake wear. The subsequent pass a mere nine days later at 77,856 miles shows the immediate faults were addressed, yet the appearance of these issues suggests the beginning of significant component degradation. The mileage pattern is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,650 miles per year. The data shows steady progression, with 10,000 miles covered between April 2024 and 2025, and another 7,300 miles recorded in the year leading up to the April 2026 test. This regular use suggests the vehicle has not sat for long periods, which is generally positive for rubber components, but it also explains why wear items like bushes and discs are now reaching the end of their service life. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension assembly, as the tester flagged both the offside and nearside arm bushes for excessive wear and debonding. Although these were repaired to pass the MOT, the failure of both sides simultaneously indicates that the remaining components may require attention soon. The front brake discs and pads were also noted as thin and pitted; therefore, the buyer must verify that these were replaced with high-quality parts rather than just resurfaced to ensure the braking system remains effective and free from vibration.
