Renault Kadjar Dynamique S Nav DCI (2016)
2016 Renault Kadjar Dynamique S Nav DCI
CarHunch analysed 228 real MOT records for the 2016 Renault Kadjar Dynamique S Nav DCI. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
This 2016 Kadjar diesel is lagging behind the UK average with a 71.8% pass rate against the national 80%, suggesting it's more prone to MOT failures than a typical car of this age. The good news is that dangerous defects are virtually absent from the dataset, so mechanical safety isn't a concern—the failures tend to be fixable issues rather than deal-breakers.
At 62,000 miles median mileage, these cars have been used reasonably and aren't high-milers for their age, yet they're still racking up 0.4 failures per test, pointing to wear items and minor component issues rather than fundamental reliability problems. If you're buying one, budget for a pre-purchase inspection focused on routine maintenance catch-up, and expect to hit some MOT costs in the next couple of years as preventative work catches up with age.
What to check before buying a 2016 Renault Kadjar Dynamique S 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.
