Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. While the mileage
The primary focus for any buyer should be the structural integrity of the chassis. The MOT records specifically highlight underside corrosion and corroded brake pipes in 2026, as well as corroded rear wheel arches in 2025. You should check if any professional rust treatment or undersealing has been applied, as these issues are recurring.
Negotiate the price based on the current advisories. The July 2026 MOT noted that the front anti-roll bar linkage has play and the nearside front shock absorber is misting oil. These components are nearing the end of their life and will likely require replacement in the near future to maintain safety and handling.
The 1.46L diesel engine is designed for efficiency, typically offering good fuel economy for a small commercial-style vehicle. Insurance groups for the Kangoo are generally modest, and road tax is based on the vehicle's CO2 emissions for its era.
However, maintenance costs may be higher than average for this specific vehicle due to the recorded corrosion. Budgeting for weld repairs or brake pipe replacements is advisable, alongside standard diesel servicing. The estimated annual running cost is likely to be higher than a rust-free example.
Conduct a thorough inspection of the underside and the rear wheel arches, as these have been flagged across multiple MOT tests. Specifically, check the offside front brake pipe for signs of corrosion or excessive grease cover, as noted in the 2026 records.
Check the front suspension components, specifically the shock absorbers for oil leaks and the anti-roll bar linkages for movement. Finally, verify that the speedometer is now fully operational, as it was a cause for failure in June 2026.
This white 2008 Renault Kangoo 1.5L diesel has recorded 80,987 miles. The MOT history shows a pattern of failures involving tyre wear, braking imbalances, and an inoperative speedometer. Most concerning are the repeated advisories and failures related to underside and wheel arch corrosion.
