2010 Renault Kangoo 1.6L Petrol · SW60 DVG

The vehicle shows a history of deferred maintenance regarding its suspension and braking systems despite its low mileage. While it passed its latest test in February 2026 at 91,966 miles, the record reveals a persistent trend of advisories that have remained unaddressed for years. Significant corrosion across all brake pipes and brake hose ferrules has been noted in every test since 2023. This indicates that while the vehicle is legally roadworthy, the integrity of the hydraulic braking lines is steadily degrading, which will eventually lead to a failure if the lines are not replaced. At 16 years old, the Kangoo has covered 91,966 miles, averaging approximately 5,750 miles per year. This low usage profile often leads to environmental degradation of rubber components and seals. The vehicle failed in February 2024 at 77,749 miles due to a leaking offside rear shock absorber, a fractured coil spring, and excessive play in a nears track rod end. Although these specific faults were rectified to allow a subsequent pass, new issues such as play in the front lower ball joint and a worn offside upper strut bush emerged in the following 14,000 miles. The mechanical state is characterized by ongoing age-related wear and surface corrosion. The Macpherson struts are consistently flagged for corrosion, and while not yet structurally compromised, they suggest a harsh environment for the chassis. The rear brake discs are repeatedly noted as pitted or scored across multiple years, suggesting they are rarely replaced. A persistent but minor oil leak has also been recorded since at least 2023, which requires a physical inspection to determine if it is a weeping seal or a failing gasket. A buyer should budget for immediate attention to the suspension components and future brake pipe replacement.
