2015 Renault Kadjar 1.5L Diesel · YP65 MYH

The 2015 Renault Kadjar shows a consistent history of annual testing, though recent records indicate volatility. The most recent test on 19 September 2025 at 101,298 miles resulted in a pass with no defects, following a failure just eleven days prior at 101,292 miles. This narrow margin suggests a fault was identified and rectified immediately to secure the re-test. A similar pattern occurred in October 2024, where the vehicle failed at 98,048 miles and passed on the same day after adjustments. These reactive repairs indicate that the owner responds to MOT issues only when they reach a legal failure point rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. At 101,298 miles over 11 years, the vehicle has averaged approximately 9,200 miles per year. This falls within the typical usage parameters for a family SUV, suggesting that the mechanical wear on drivetrain components and suspension bushings is consistent with its age. The mileage gap between the 2023 and 2024 tests shows steady usage accumulation, indicating a regular driving pattern. However, the lack of specific defect data regarding the components that triggered the failures in 2024 and 2025 leaves questions about the specific mechanical state of the braking system, exhaust, or structural integrity. The absence of recorded advisories in the latest 2025 report is a sign, yet the recurring failures suggest the vehicle operates on the edge of compliance. A prospective buyer should specifically inspect the undercarriage for corrosion and check the condition of the suspension wish arms, as these are common points of wear in this mileage bracket. Given that the vehicle has crossed the one-hundred-thousand-mile mark, a thorough check of fluid leaks and the thickness of brake discs is necessary to ensure the recent MOT passes are not masking deeper mechanical degradation.
