2010 Renault Kangoo 1.5L Diesel · WF10 RFO

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, though the maintenance history shows an inconsistent pattern. The most recent test on 13 April 2023 at 289,065 miles passed with no recorded defects, suggesting the vehicle met minimum legal standards at that time. However, the history of failures immediately preceding these passes in both 2022 and 2023 indicates a reactive maintenance approach rather than proactive care. This trend suggests the owner only addresses faults when forced by a test failure rather than performing routine preventative inspections. The mileage profile is exceptionally high for a 16-year-old vehicle, averaging over 18,000 miles per year. Between February 2021 and February 2022, the vehicle covered 6,611 miles, while it then clocked another 3,468 miles in the year leading up to the April 2023 test. While the annual usage has fluctuated, the total distance of nearly 290,000 miles puts significant strain on the drivetrain, suspension components, and braking system. The fact that the last MOT was over three years ago as of July 2026 means the vehicle is now overdue for its annual test, increasing the risk of unrecorded mechanical degradation. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection focusing on structural integrity and the chassis, as high-mileage Renault vans often suffer from accelerated corrosion. Given the high mileage, the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers require checking for signs of excessive wear or failure. The braking system also demands scrutiny for binding calipers or thin discs, as the high mileage suggests frequent use of consumables. Because there is no recorded data for the last three years, a professional check for fluid leaks and exhaust corrosion is essential to determine if the vehicle remains safe for intensive use.
