2005 Renault Kangoo 1.9L Diesel · YR05 YCZ

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive repairs rather than preventative care. The most recent test in July 2025 at 124,068 miles passed with an advisory for pitted and scored brake discs. This follows a similar defect seen in January 2021 where the offside front disc was flagged for surface wear, suggesting that the braking system is prone to corrosion or surface degradation despite the relatively low annual mileage. At 21 years old, the recorded mileage of 124,068 miles represents a low average of approximately 5,900 miles per year. The usage pattern appears consistent in recent years, with roughly 3,700 miles covered between the 2023 and 2024 tests and another 3,735 miles between March 2024 and 2025. While low mileage often reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, it frequently accelerates the degradation of rubber components and allows surfaces to rust, which is evident in the recorded faults. A buyer must inspect the engine bay for active oil leaks, as the tester noted oil issues in both 2022 and 2023. The power steering hose reported as damaged in 2023 should be checked for signs of weeping or perished rubber. Furthermore, the deteriorated offside rear CV boot noted in 2022 requires a physical inspection to ensure the grease has not fully escaped and led to joint failure. Given the vehicle's age, a thorough check of the chassis for structural corrosion and suspension bushes is essential, as the MOT record does not detail the integrity of the metalwork between tests.
