Looking at a Kadjar?

Population figures cannot tell you whether one particular car is taxed, MOT-valid or safe to buy.

Check its registration free for the official tax, MOT and mileage record. If the car is still worth pursuing, the optional £9.99 full history check adds outstanding-finance, stolen and insurance write-off checks.

Wondering whether one particular Kadjar is off the road? A free SORN check shows whether it is currently SORN, taxed or untaxed.

Is the Kadjar disappearing?

Licensed numbers peaked at 69,399 in 2022 Q4 and stand at 67,553 in 2026 Q1, down 3%. The number on the road is unchanged since 2021 Q1. A further 838 are declared SORN — 1 in 82 of the 68,391 still on the DVLA record is off the road, laid up, part-restored or waiting to be sold.

A falling population is worth knowing before you buy: it usually means fewer donor cars, fewer specialists and slower parts supply, and it is why a good example of a scarce model can hold its price while a neglected one is hard to sell at any price.

When it shows up in the statistics

Renault Kadjar first appears in the published DfT series in 2015 Q3. Earlier quarters in this file do not include it, so that quarter is not a production start date.

Kadjar MOT pass rate

In 2024, 77.3% of 63,750 Renault Kadjar MOTs passed first time — above the 71.2% UK average. Pass rate moves with age: 83.5% of cars aged 3–5 years passed first time, against 74.5% aged 6–9 years.

  • Condition — 4.5% of tests. Corrosion, damage or wear on a tested component. Worth seeing in person, as the cost ranges from trivial to structural.
  • Headlamps — 4.1% of tests. A headlight fault, from a blown bulb to a failed unit.
  • Mechanical Brake Components — 3.7% of tests. Worn discs, pads or callipers. Routine wear, but it should be priced into the deal.
  • Tread Depth — 2.7% of tests. Tyres below the 1.6mm legal limit. Budget for tyres, and treat it as a sign of how the car was maintained.
