2013 Renault Kangoo 1.5L Diesel · YB63 NVR

The 2026‑04‑02 MOT at 164,444 miles passed without any defects, confirming that the vehicle remains roadworthy and that the maintenance record shows a stable trend. Since the 2025‑03‑20 test at 160,178 miles also passed without defects, and the earlier 2024‑02‑12 test at 155,026 miles likewise recorded no failures, the absence of recurring faults indicates consistent upkeep. The two failures in March 2025 and February 2024 resulted in no defects recorded, suggesting that any issues were rectified before the subsequent passes. At 13 years of age, the recorded 164,444 miles equate to an average annual mileage of roughly 12,650 miles, which is elevated for a vehicle of this vintage and points to considerable use of consumable components such as tyres, wiper blades and brake pads. The interval between the 2025‑03‑19 failure and the 2025‑03‑20 pass covers a single day with identical mileage, while the 2024‑02‑09 failure to the 2024‑02‑12 pass spans three days and also shows unchanged mileage; these close‑spaced retests imply that any identified faults were addressed promptly, leaving the mileage pattern relatively static between official inspections. A buyer should therefore focus on the mechanical items that have historically shown vulnerability: the front and rear suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of cracking or excessive play, the brake calipers and discs for binding or uneven wear, and the chassis and wheel arches for rust that could compromise structural integrity. The exhaust system should be examined for corrosion or leaks, as the emissions test has consistently passed but rust can develop unnoticed. Finally, a thorough visual inspection of tyre tread depth, condition of wiper blades and verification of the timing belt or chain wear will confirm whether the high mileage has translated into accelerated component fatigue, completing the due‑diligence assessment.
