2006 Renault Kangoo 1.5L Diesel · YP56 GXS

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 15 October 2025 at 150,495 miles with zero defects, indicating a stable and improving mechanical condition. The maintenance trend remains highly positive, as the van has consistently passed its annual assessments without any recorded advisories or failures. Notably, a failed test on 10 October 2025 at 150,461 miles preceded this pass, yet the subsequent retest five days later revealed no defects. This suggests the initial failure stemmed from a minor, easily rectified issue rather than a systemic mechanical fault. The recorded mileage of 150,495 miles over roughly twenty years equates to an annual average of approximately 7,525 miles, which is typical for a commercial vehicle of this age. The progression between tests shows consistent, low-mileage usage. Between the October 2023 test at 136,227 miles and the October 2024 test at 143,232 miles, the van covered 7,005 miles. The subsequent year saw a slight increase, accumulating 7,263 miles by the October 2025 test. There are no alarming gaps or sudden spikes in the odometer readings, reflecting steady, predictable use rather than prolonged periods of standing or excessive high-mileage commuting. Despite the clean MOT record, a physical inspection remains prudent for a twenty-year-old commercial vehicle. Buyers should closely examine the structural integrity of the chassis and load floor, checking for corrosion that might not trigger an MOT failure but compromises long-term durability. Suspension bushes and coil springs require scrutiny, as typical wear from commercial loading can degrade these components without generating immediate test failures. Brake discs and binding calipers should be inspected for uneven wear, particularly given the stop-start nature of urban delivery work. Tyre condition and tread depth also warrant a visual check, as consumable wear can occur rapidly between annual tests.
