2020 Renault Captur 1.3L Petrol · BU20 YWY

This 2020 Renault Captur passed its most recent MOT in February 2026 with 52,172 miles recorded. However, the test revealed that the offside front tyre is worn close to the legal limit and shows edge wear, which is a safety concern that needs immediate attention before purchase. The MOT record shows a clear pattern of tyre wear issues. In March 2023, both front tyres were flagged as worn close to the legal limit with edge wear, and there was also a nail in the offside rear tyre at that time. The vehicle then passed cleanly in early 2024 and again in March 2025, but tyre wear has reappeared on the most recent test. This suggests the tyres fitted after 2023 have worn noticeably in the past year, which is a faster rate than would normally be expected over that mileage interval. At roughly 8,695 miles per year, this vehicle's mileage is typical for its age, so usage has been average rather than excessive. The recurring tyre wear pattern is therefore unlikely to be driven by high mileage alone. Edge wear on front tyres often points to alignment issues, suspension wear, or driving style, rather than simple age or distance. The fact that both front tyres show this wear type suggests a mechanical cause rather than a single puncture or isolated incident.
