Renault Kangoo Ml19 DCI (2014)
2014 Renault Kangoo Ml19 DCI
CarHunch analysed 114 real MOT records for the 2014 Renault Kangoo Ml19 DCI. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2014 Renault Kangoo ML19 DCI is a serious reliability concern, with only 39.6% passing their MOT first time against the UK average of 80%. No vehicles in this cohort have ever recorded a dangerous defect, which is reassuring, but the low pass rate reflects genuine mechanical issues that need addressing.
At 97,167 miles average, these vans are carrying typical mileage for their age, yet they're averaging 0.72 failures per test with almost no advisories—meaning problems tend to be failures rather than early warnings. If you're considering buying one, budget for immediate remedial work and factor in regular servicing costs, as the pattern suggests these diesel engines demand close attention to stay roadworthy.
What to check before buying a 2014 Renault Kangoo Ml19 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.
