2019 Renault Kadjar 1.3L Petrol · WA19 OLJ

The 2019 Renault Kadjar presents a stable and recently confirmed roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT on 9 March 2026 at 76,445 miles with zero defects recorded. This clean bill of health is significant given the vehicle's recent history. The maintenance trend over the past three years shows a clear pattern of recurring faults being actively addressed and resolved. A coolant leak and low coolant level flagged in March 2025 at 70,624 miles appear to have been rectified, as no related advisory carried forward. More notably, the offside rear shock absorber consistently flagged for light oil misting since October 2023 at 49,130 miles was no longer mentioned in the 2026 pass, strongly suggesting a replacement damper was fitted. The pattern of brake disc and pad wear advisories and failures in late 2024 also appears to have been resolved with fresh components, culminating in the flawless March 2026 test. The mileage accumulation is consistent and unremarkable for a seven-year-old vehicle. The record shows 49,130 miles in October 2023, 66,613 miles in October 2024, 70,624 miles in March 2025, and 76,445 miles in March 2026. This equates to roughly 10,900 miles per year, a typical annual distance. There are no suspiciously large gaps in the MOT record that would suggest the vehicle stood idle for extended periods, nor any rapid spikes in mileage that would raise odometer tampering concerns. The steady, linear progression of miles between tests supports the recorded history. A buyer conducting a physical inspection should focus on the components that have historically required attention. The rear suspension, specifically the offside rear shock absorber, must be closely examined for fresh oil misting, weeping seals, or signs of a recent replacement. The braking system demands a thorough check; inspect the thickness of all brake pads and the condition of the front discs for scoring or lipping, given the history of wear-related advisories and a failure for pads below 1.5mm. The rear tyres should be scrutinised for uneven edge wear and cracking, an issue noted in 2023. While the current MOT is clean, these are the areas where the vehicle's maintenance record indicates a higher likelihood of future wear or component renewal.
