2002 Renault Kangoo 1.9L Diesel · WJ02 AEM

The Renault Kangoo presents a stable roadworthiness trend with no recorded defects across its five most recent MOT tests. The February 2022 test at 144,677 miles passed clean, matching the fault-free outcomes from 2021, 2020, 2019 and 2018. No advisories appear on any certificate, so the official record shows no worsening or recurring mechanical faults over the four-year window. The mileage data reveals an unusual pattern for a 24-year-old vehicle. Between the February 2018 test at 71,884 miles and February 2019 at 72,989 miles the van covered only 1,105 miles, indicating a period of very light use. A sharp jump then occurred by February 2020, with 143,542 miles recorded, an increase of over 70,000 miles in a single year. The subsequent tests show near-static readings: 144,188 in 2021 and 144,677 in 2022. The record then ends over four years before today's date, leaving the current condition unverified by MOT since early 2022. A buyer should treat the long MOT lapse as the primary concern. With no test data after 144,677 miles, suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers may have degraded through age even if mileage stayed low. The 2018 to 2019 low-use period raises the risk of perished rubber components and corrosion from standing. Structural integrity around sills and subframes warrants close inspection for rust. Given the clean history, previous owners appear to have maintained basic compliance, though the abrupt 70,000-mile surge in 2019 suggests heavy commercial use that may have stressed the drivetrain. Confirm in person that the odometer reading is genuine and commission a fresh inspection before any purchase.
