2017 Renault Kadjar 1.5L Diesel · WK17 XMX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test in January 2026 at 106,878 miles identified an advisory for a nearside rear brake disc that was pitted and scored. While this did not result in a failure, it indicates the start of component degradation. This follows a clean result in December 2024, suggesting that while the vehicle was in good condition eighteen months ago, it is now showing signs of age-related wear. The mileage pattern is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,800 miles per year. There was a significant surge of 13,606 miles recorded between December 2024 and January 2026, representing a high rate of use compared to the previous interval where only 7,216 miles were covered between 2022 and early 2024. This accelerated mileage puts greater strain on the drivetrain and suspension components, which aligns with the recent appearance of brakerelated issues in the latest MOT record. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the braking system and suspension geometry. The records from 2022 and 2024 repeatedly flagged front tyres worn to the legal limit and specifically on the edges, which often points to alignment issues or worn suspension bushes. Given the recent pitting on the nearside rear disc, the buyer must check all calipers for binding and ensure the discs are not thinningly. Because of the high recent mileage, a physical check of the shock absorbers and the front control arm bushings is essential to ensure no structural mechanical failures are imminent.
