Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The 2016 Renault Kadjar with 82,150 miles demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, as the most recent MOT on 2025-06-07 at 82,150 miles recorded a pass with no defects. However, the vehicle’s history includes repeated test failures on the same date in 2024 and 2023, both at 73,243 and 63,521 miles respectively, with no defects noted. This suggests potential administrative errors or repeated testing without corrective action, though the absence of recorded faults implies no critical mechanical or structural issues were identified. The lack of recurring defects in the latest test indicates the vehicle has likely been maintained to a satisfactory standard. Mileage progression aligns with typical usage for the vehicle’s age, averaging approximately 8,215 miles annually. The gap between the 2023-06-09 test (63,521 miles) and 2024-06-18 test (73,243 miles) reflects a 10,000-mile increase over 12 months, which may indicate heavier usage or infrequent motoring. The subsequent 9,000-mile rise to 82,150 miles by 2025-06-07 suggests consistent operation but no significant anomalies in wear patterns. The MOT records lack detailed defect descriptions, leaving limited insight into specific maintenance priorities beyond general wear. A buyer should verify the condition of suspension components, as repeated testing without defects may mask gradual wear in bushes or coil springs. The absence of exhaust or corrosion reports is reassuring, but a physical inspection should confirm brake disc thickness and caliper function, as these are common wear points. Structural integrity and tyre tread depth should also be assessed, given the vehicle’s age and mileage. While the MOT history shows no critical failures, the lack of detailed defect data necessitates a thorough pre-purchase check to confirm ongoing reliability.
