Looking at a Kangoo?

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 Kangoo is off the road? A free SORN check shows whether it is currently SORN, taxed or untaxed.

Is the Kangoo disappearing?

Licensed numbers peaked at 87,896 in 2014 Q3 and stand at 63,426 in 2026 Q1, down 28%. That is down 6% in the five years since 2021 Q1. A further 13,735 are declared SORN — 1 in 6 of the 77,161 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.

Kangoo MOT pass rate

In 2024, 53.6% of 46,538 Renault Kangoo MOTs passed first time — below the 71.2% UK average. Pass rate moves with age: 69.5% of cars aged 3–5 years passed first time, against 51.2% aged 15–30 years.

  • Transmission — 8% of tests. A fault with a driveshaft, gaiter or transmission component. Costs vary widely.
  • Steering Linkage Components — 7.7% of tests. Worn track rod ends or joints. Affects steering and tyre wear, and is a normal age-related repair.
  • Stop Lamp — 6.6% of tests. A brake light out. Usually a bulb.
  • Brake Performance — 6.5% of tests. The brakes underperformed on the rolling road. Expect brake work rather than an adjustment.
