2019 Renault Kadjar 1.3L Petrol · YF69 BKX

The Renault Kadjar presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass at its most recent MOT on 22 May 2026 at 43,251 miles. That test recorded zero defects. A separate failure on the same day for a split offside front wiper blade is a trivial consumable item, not a mechanical concern, and the immediate retest confirms it was rectified promptly. The vehicle has been consistently roadworthy across its last five annual tests, with no recurring mechanical or structural failures. The mileage progression is steady and unremarkable, consistent with light-to-average use. The car covered 4,809 miles between April 2025 and May 2026, 5,895 miles between May 2024 and April 2025, and 6,575 miles between May 2023 and May 2024. This pattern suggests regular use without prolonged standing periods or sudden high-mileage accumulation. The annualised figure of roughly 6,179 miles over seven years sits comfortably within the typical range for this age of vehicle. The only advisory on record is a nearside front tyre worn close to the legal limit and worn on edge, noted at the April 2025 test at 38,442 miles. Edge wear on a front tyre typically points to tracking or alignment issues rather than simple neglect, though the defect did not recur at the 2026 test, suggesting the tyre was replaced and any alignment concern may have been addressed. A prospective buyer should still inspect the inner and outer shoulders of all four tyres for uneven wear patterns and check that the front suspension bushes, track rod ends, and wishbone joints play no excessive movement. Beyond tyres, the MOT record offers no evidence of corrosion, exhaust deterioration, brake defects, or suspension faults. The brake discs, pads, and calipers have never been flagged, and no emissions advisories have appeared. A physical inspection should still verify the condition of the underside for surface corrosion, particularly around subframes and suspension mounting points, and confirm that the exhaust system remains gas-free. The windscreen should be examined for stone chips or cracks, given the wiper blade failure, as a damaged blade can scratch the glass over time.
