2016 Renault Kadjar 1.5L Diesel · X88 KCX

The September 2025 MOT at 84,049 miles records a pass with no defects, indicating that the Renault Kadjar is presently roadworthy. The preceding September 2024 test, also at 74,754 miles, recorded a failure for rear brake pad wear and a fractured near‑side front coil spring, but the subsequent 2025 inspection shows that these issues have been corrected, suggesting a stable maintenance trend. Mileage has risen steadily from 23,338 miles in March 2019 to 84,049 miles in September 2025, averaging roughly 8,400 miles per year, which aligns with the typical usage for a ten‑year‑old vehicle. The annual testing regime is continuous, with no extended periods of inactivity evident in the record. A buyer should therefore concentrate on the mechanical components highlighted by recurring faults: the near‑side front coil spring and associated suspension bushes, the rear shock absorbers that showed light oil misting in 2021, and the brake system where pad thickness was recorded at 1.1 mm in 2024. Inspection should also cover structural rust, especially around the front suspension mounting points, and verify the condition of the exhaust and chassis welds. While the latest test confirms compliance, the history suggests that suspension integrity and brake wear remain the most likely sources of future failure, so a detailed visual and functional inspection of springs, shock absorbers, brake discs, calipers and chassis corrosion is essential before purchase.
