2009 Renault Kangoo 1.6L Petrol · VU58 MYO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive approach rather than preventative care. The most recent test in December 2025 at 83,963 miles showed a pass following a failure just two miles prior for a worn nearside front track rod end and perished rear tyres. While the immediate steering geometry issue has been rectified, the recurring nature of the defects suggests that mechanical components are only addressed once they reach a point of failure during the annual inspection. At approximately 17 years old, the recorded mileage of 83,963 miles is significantly low, averaging under 5,000 miles per year. This low usage often correlates with the degradation of rubber-based components due to age. Between November 2023 and December 2025, the vehicle covered roughly 11,900 miles, yet it failed for significant brake disc wear and lighting issues. This confirms that the vehicle's components are failing due to age-related fatigue despite the low distance travelled. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension and braking system. The repeated advisories for perished rear tyres across 2024 and 2025 indicate the vehicle sits for long periods, which leads to sidewall cracking. The 2024 advisory regarding a non-excessive gearbox oil leak requires close monitoring of the transmission housing to ensure the leak is not worsening. Given the 2023 failure for imbalanced rear brakes and worn discs, the buyer should verify that the calipers are not binding and the handbrake mechanism remains properly adjusted and effective.
