2020 Renault Kadjar S Edition Tce

CarHunch analysed 118 real MOT records for the 2020 Renault Kadjar S Edition Tce. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

The 2020 Renault Kadjar S Edition TCE passes its MOT on the first attempt 80.8% of the time, marginally above the UK average of 80%, with zero vehicles ever flagged for dangerous defects—a genuinely clean safety record across this cohort of 118 cars. This is a reassuringly reliable petrol crossover with almost no structural issues emerging early in its life.

At a median mileage of 37,280 miles, these cars are running well below typical four-year-old usage, which partly explains the negligible failure rate of just 0.03 per vehicle and complete absence of advisories. Before buying, confirm the specific service history and check the air conditioning system independently, as this generation's weak point typically shows up only after year five.

What to check before buying a 2020 Renault Kadjar S Edition Tce

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.
