Dealing with a faulty starter motor in your Renault Kangoo (2020 to present) can be quite a hassle. As a UK-based master tech mechanic with over 15 years of experience, I’ve seen my fair share of starter motor issues, and I'm here to share with you how these problems manifest, their potential causes, and the typical repair process.
When the starter motor in your Renault Kangoo is beginning to fail, you might notice several telltale signs. These include a whining noise when starting the van, the engine not turning over when you turn the key, or intermittent issues with starting the vehicle. Additionally, in some cases, you might only hear a clicking sound when attempting to start the engine, which usually indicates a problem with the starter motor's solenoid.
A range of issues could lead to starter motor troubles in your Renault Kangoo. A common culprit is a faulty electrical connection or a worn-out solenoid. The starter motor itself could suffer from internal wear, especially the gears connected to the engine flywheel. Corrosion and excessive heat can also impair the starter’s functionality over time.
To address a failing starter motor, the repair process generally involves testing the starter's electrical connections and inspecting its components. If the motor or its parts display severe wear or damage, replacement will be necessary. Given the complexities of accessing and removing the starter motor in the Renault Kangoo, this can be a time-consuming task that often requires professional skills and tools.
While repair is certainly an option, you might find yourself facing repeated issues or high maintenance costs. This raises the question: is it more practical to fix the starter motor, or should you consider selling your Renault Kangoo?

Yes, you can indeed sell your financed van with vandervan even if it's under a Hire Purchase (HP) or Personal Contract Purchase (PCP) agreement.
If you decide to sell your financed van, the initial step is to obtain a 'settlement figure' from your lender, which you can usually find in a settlement letter. Following that, get a valuation for your van.
Our team will walk you through the settlement process.
We do not charge any fees. There are no admin charges or anything like that. Just your van, your money, instantly.
By selling your van through our service, you join a robust network of over 4,000 verified dealers.
This can often result in a more favourable price compared to part exchange, where you might find yourself confined to a single dealer’s assessment, which might not accurately represent the real market value of your van.
Part exchanges often result in less favourable outcomes for sellers, particularly if the dealer is not intending to retail your van and plans to pass it along instead.

Fortunately, we buy any van even if they do not have a logbook, although it is advantageous if you have a full V5 Logbook, or at least the green New Keeper Slip.
It makes it tougher to sell to our network of 4000+ verified dealers, as we have to wait for the DVLA to process a V62 application (usually 6 weeks), so our valuations reflect the delay in sale and storage costs while rectifying missing V5 logbooks.
