Should I check the MOT history before buying a 2022 Renault Kadjar?

Yes. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. A full MOT history analysis will highlight patterns that a single test result won't reveal.

What corrosion should I look for when inspecting a 2022 Renault Kadjar?

Check brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that is expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.

How are tyres and brakes typically on a 2022 Renault Kadjar?

Tyres and brakes are the most common advisory items on vehicles of this age. Budget for replacement if they are near the limit, and factor this into your offer price.

Is the 2022 Renault Kadjar reliable?

Based on MOT data from 158 vehicles, the 2022 Renault Kadjar has a first-time MOT pass rate of 93%, indicating generally reliable for its class. Always check the full MOT history of any specific vehicle before buying.

The 2022 Renault Kadjar is a strong performer, with a 93% first-time pass rate that sits well above the UK average of 80%, suggesting these cars are holding up reliably in their first few years of ownership. The dangerous defect rate of 3.2% is reassuringly low, so structural and safety issues are not a widespread concern for this cohort.

At an average mileage of 25,085 km, these vehicles are still relatively lightly used, which partly explains the high pass rate—they haven't yet encountered the wear-and-tear that typically emerges after 50,000 km. Most examples pick up fewer than one advisory per test (0.8 on average), pointing to sound build quality, so focus your pre-purchase inspection on routine items like brake fluid condition and suspension bushes rather than expecting major faults.

We have limited data for the 2022 Renault Kadjar — treat the figures below as indicative rather than definitive.
