2014 Renault Kangoo 1.5L Diesel · VE63 WTX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a significant decline in mechanical standards over recent months. While it passed the test on 30 May 2026 at 273,169 miles, it had failed just days prior due to multiple critical defects. The presence of an engine management indicator light (MIL) failure and a track rod end with excessive play indicates that the vehicle was operated with serious safety risks that were only addressed immediately upon failure rather than through a preventative maintenance schedule. The mileage profile is exceptionally high for a 12-year-old vehicle, averaging over 22,000 miles per year. There is a notable gap in data between February 2024 at 20,013 miles and March 2025 at 265,966 miles, representing a way increase of 245,000 miles in justion months. This rapid accumulation places extreme strain on the drivetrain, suspension, and braking systems, which is evidenced by the sudden appearance of fractured springs and worn components in the most recent tests. A buyer must thoroughly inspect the suspension and steering assembly, as the history shows recurring issues with track rod ends and coil springs. The braking system requires close attention; the record flags pitted and scored front discs and worn rear discs across 2025 and 2026. Furthermore, the corrosion on the brake pipes noted in March 2025 suggests long-term exposure to elements that could lead to fluid leaks if the lines are not treated or replaced.
