2004 Renault Kangoo 1.6L Petrol · SO54 ABF

The most recent MOT test on 8 May 2023 at 107,815 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, establishing the Kangoo as roadworthy per DVSA criteria at that date. Mechanical maintenance trend appears stable across the supplied history, as every test from 9 November 2021 onward logged zero advisories or faults. Two earlier failures on 8 November 2022 and 2 May 2023 at 107,694 and 107,814 miles respectively show no defects listed, indicating the rejections stemmed from non-mechanical presentation or administrative causes rather than worsening condition. Mileage accumulation reflects exceptionally light use for a 2004 vehicle. The record moves from 107,172 miles at the 9 November 2021 test to 107,694 miles on 15 November 2022, a gain of just 522 miles over twelve months. By the May 2023 pass the odometer read 107,815 miles, adding only 121 miles in six months. Such low annual averages near 4,900 miles suggest prolonged periods of standing, which can mask intermittent issues not captured in static tests. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of age-sensitive components despite the clean defect list. Twenty-two years of service present risk of degradation to suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs through corrosion or perishing even when unused. The tester noted no structural integrity concerns, but hidden rust on sills or subframes may evade a brief MOT. Verify the circumstances of the two no-defect failures with the seller, as they may reveal missing documentation or minor equipment non-compliance. Previous owners likely used the Kangoo for short local trips or storage, implying basic upkeep was adequate but not rigorous. Physical checks of tyre sidewalls, wiper blades, and exhaust emissions remain prudent before purchase.
