2015 Renault Kangoo 1.5L Diesel · WM65 GSO

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of deferred maintenance regarding consumable components. While the most recent test in December 2025 at 73,871 miles passed, it resulted in multiple advisories for tyre wear and brake degradation. This represents a regression from the clean record achieved in December 2024, suggesting that the owner only addresses mechanical issues once they reach a failure threshold or an MOT advisory stage rather than following a proactive service schedule. At 73,871 miles, the Kangoo has averaged approximately 6,700 miles per year, which aligns with typical light usage for an eleven-year-old van. The mileage pattern is consistent, with roughly 6,000 to 8,000 miles covered between each annual inspection. This low mileage suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to heavy commercial-duty strain, but it also increases the likelihood of age-related degradation in rubber components and seals, as evidenced by the perishing noted on the nearside front tyre in late 2022. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front braking system. The record shows a recurring issue with pitting and scoring on the brake discs dating back to 2022, which appeared again in late 2025. Combined with thin brake pads noted in the latest test, the entire front disc assembly is likely nearing the end of its effective life. The repeated reports of inner edge tyre wear in 2023 and 2025 indicate potential alignment issues or worn suspension bushes that require investigation to prevent premature tyre failure. Offside rear brake pipe also warrants attention due to reported corrosion in 2023. While this did not result in a subsequent failure, corrosion on hydraulic lines often progresses over time. An inspector should check the chassis for structural rust around these areas and ensure the pipe has been treated or replaced. Given the history of multiple advisories for tyres, the buyer should also budget for a full set of rubber and a front brake overhaul immediately upon purchase.
