Is this Worst vehicle ever made
Picked a cheap and cheerful renault kangoo up yesterday to chuck the trials bikes in
And in less than 24hrs , broke the passenger door lock , snapped rear door handle , broke the window winder , and the factory immobiliser does whatever it feels like
On the upside it's brill on fuel , drives nice enough and can fit two trials bikes in and all the gear
But it's got to be a contender for the flimsiest vehicle award ever

Sounds like my old Renault Kangoo Van, Drivers side lock broke(would not open unless from inside) Drivers window handle dropped off, and the plastics all where loose and where coming off, But you could get away with not servicing it, proper abuse it and it kept going, engine and transmission where great!!!
Oh and the rear suspesion clapsed twice which was a common problem or so I was told! But have only owned 2 Renaults in my life and they where pretty much the same, engine and gearbox are sound, but everything around it seems to fall to pieces and drop off!!

How much was it?
Had the things been broken before or are you just ham fisted
A mate has one, done him ok for the last year, will need some money spending on it for the MOT next year, but all it has cost him in 10k is tyres.

Here it is and cost the grand sum of £750
It's a 2002 ex b/gas or transco
Had a belt snap at 88k so had to have a bit of a rebuild , it's now on 133k
Tax and test till next year sometime , came with 4 million receipts ( not always a good thing) and quite a bit if history
I can't complain at all because what do you expect for that money , we were sort of laughing as things snapped and broke , reasonable to drive and nippy enough coupled with good mpg it is , quality it's not
One thing that is surprising is that you can get two trials bikes in ( 6ft long )
Boots , helmets , box with a bit of cleaning gear , small tool box ,fuel cans and still have room for some sarnies
Ps, 500 all the items broken were present and correct before we set out this morning
