Renault Kadjar Dynamique Nav DCI (2018)
2018 Renault Kadjar Dynamique Nav DCI
CarHunch analysed 143 real MOT records for the 2018 Renault Kadjar Dynamique Nav DCI. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
This 2018 Renault Kadjar DCI is a notable reliability concern, with a first-time pass rate of just 65.1% against the UK average of 80%—meaning one in three vehicles fail their MOT on the first attempt. The good news is that dangerous defects are absent from this cohort, so failures tend to be fixable rather than safety-critical issues.
At 52,971 miles median age, these cars are running relatively low mileage for their age, which explains why advisories are virtually non-existent. The average of 0.11 failures per vehicle suggests problems are concentrated rather than widespread, but the weak pass rate indicates you should budget for repairs and have any prospective purchase inspected by a diesel-specialist mechanic before committing.
What to check before buying a 2018 Renault Kadjar Dynamique Nav DCI
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
