Guys I notice a lot of people mention there is a discrepancy in the mileage. The graph shown is a input from various sources the vehicle is a late 2016 so didn’t have its first mot till late 2019 the input shown is 2017 the previous owner put a mot on the vehicle then sadly passed away so it hasn’t done hardly any miles between those 2 mot.s car vertical gather there information from various sources I have mentioned this on numerous occasions. Example if I put your reg and mileage in to a car buying site to see what they offer and I got your mileage wrong and it was checked elsewhere at a later date with the correct milage this would show a discrepancy. I hope this cleares up the issue 👌👍

Most likely an error when recording the mileage at a service between MOT’s - replace the 1 with a 2 and it all looks legit; MOT 62576, SERVICE 62991, MOT 63054 👍🏻 Car Vertical did the same for my own car at the Audi main dealer, dipped by 10k due to an error at a service putting 15k instead of 25k.

Nice one. Well done. If I was in the market for a car or van, you'd certainly be my first port of call. I used to use a mechanic, who has sadly died now, but he was fair. Always showed you the parts he'd taken off and never asked too much. His workshop, like yours was spotless. He welcomed everyone, especially women to bring cars to him as he felt they were often baffled by bullshit. He used to work for a main dealer and knew their shortcuts, which he avoided. Keep up the good work as it's a pleasure to watch.

rob, that limiter will have been electronically added by dealer at pdi by pressing a button on his renault diag tool. your diag tool might be able to take it off. ive had troubles with the bigger renault vans, after they have had a flat battery not starting. taking the battery lead off overnight usually sorted them, so swapping the battery might of given the kangoo a kick up the pants. i recon the cowboys were using your van as a "donor vehicle" to try + fix another van by parts substitution, + never put it back together properly when they had fixed their problem [we've got same issue at our garage, but its always a" mystery man" who does it
