2016 Renault Kadjar 1.5L Diesel · WR66 USF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a worsening trend regarding deferred mechanical repairs. While it passed the most recent test in December 2025 at 57,411 miles, the failure just one week prior highlights a lack of preventative maintenance. The December 2025 failure identified multiple faults involving the nearside front track rod end and both front suspension arm ball joint dust covers, indicating that rubber components are being neglected until they reached a point of legal failure. At 57,411 miles over ten years, the Kadjar has covered a low annual average of approximately 5,700 miles per year. This low usage pattern often suggests short trips which can lead to accelerated wear on braking components and rubber parts. Between December 2022 and December 2024, the vehicle covered roughly 16,500 miles, yet the record consistently flags thin brake pads and worn tyres across every annual test. This suggests the previous owners only addressed consumable issues when prompted by an MOT failure rather than following a proactive service schedule. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension geometry. The recurring issues with worn tyres on inner edges and damaged dust covers point to potential alignment problems or worn ball joints. You should check for excessive play in the steering linkage and verify that the ball joints and dust boots were actually replaced rather than just adjusted. Given the consistent history of thin brake pads on both axles, the current state of the discs and pads should be measured to ensure they are not nearing the end of their life again.
