Renault Kadjar (2019)
2019 Renault Kadjar
CarHunch analysed 11,591 real MOT records for the 2019 Renault Kadjar. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2019 Renault Kadjar passes its MOT first time in 87.6% of cases, well above the UK average of 80%, which is genuinely encouraging—but one in four vehicles have recorded a dangerous defect at some point, so mechanical issues do exist despite the headline pass rate. Petrol and diesel variants are evenly reliable (87.7% and 86.5% respectively), so fuel choice won't sway the outcome.
At just over 30,000 miles median age, these cars are still relatively young and low-mileage, yet they're accumulating nearly 5 advisories per test on average, suggesting minor wear is creeping in earlier than ideal. If you're considering one, get a pre-purchase inspection done by a Renault specialist and specifically ask about any history of dangerous defect repairs—that 25% figure deserves respect.
What to check before buying a 2019 Renault Kadjar
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.
- ⚠️ 24.9% of these vehicles have had a dangerous defect recorded. Enter the reg below — the full MOT history will show exactly what was flagged and whether it was resolved.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
