2018 RENAULT CAPTUR0.9L Petrol

The Renault Captur holds a valid MOT pass dated 28 January 2026 at 43,106 miles, and the DVSA ledger shows no defects or advisories on any test. The maintenance trend is stable, with the most recent examination clearing all mechanical criteria. Two anomalous failures precede passes at identical mileages—on 3 February 2025 and 28 January 2026—yet the tester recorded zero defects, indicating procedural or documentation issues rather than worsening condition. Odometer readings confirm low usage for an eight-year-old hatch. The vehicle recorded 27,730 miles at the 14 March 2024 test, climbed to 32,616 miles by 3 February 2025, and stood at 43,106 miles on 28 January 2026. Annual increments of under 11,000 miles reflect gentle private use; the regular test spacing shows the previous owner booked examinations on time and the sparse clean entries imply basic upkeep was not neglected. No suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, binding calipers, corrosion or exhaust emissions faults appear in the official history, so the record reveals no structural or mechanical risks. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of subframe integrity, front lower arm bushes and rear axle for rust, as Capturs of this generation accrue such wear invisibly to the test bay. Verify tyre tread and wiper blades despite absence of advisories. The repeated fail-with-no-defect entries warrant scrutiny of test centre annotations and V5C matching. Prior keepers resolved the anomalies within days at same mileages, pointing to pragmatic handling rather than chronic neglect of consumables or drivetrain.
