2014 RENAULT CAPTUREXPR-N+CONV-CE NRG DCISS1.5L DIESEL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in April 2026 with 102,197 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the unexplained failure in March 2026 at just 101,658 miles warrants scrutiny. Since no specific defects were recorded for that failed test, it likely indicates either an administrative error or a minor issue that was rectified immediately before the successful re-test. Beyond this single anomaly, the car has maintained a clean record for the last three years, indicating a consistent level of basic upkeep. At 102,197 miles over twelve years, the car averages approximately 8,500 miles per annum, which aligns closely with national averages for a domestic vehicle. The data shows consistent usage between the 2024 and 2025 tests, where the vehicle covered 7,312 miles in a year. There is a notable gap in records between January 2023 and March 2024, where the vehicle covered only roughly 7,000 miles over 14 months. This relatively low annual mileage suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to extreme stress on the drivetrain or suspension components, though age-related degradation of rubber parts remains a factor. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the common failure points for this model that the MOT record does not capture due to the lack of advisories. Check for early corrosion on the rear wheel arches and sills, as these are prone areas on Captures. Given the mileage, inspect the condition of the suspension bushes and shocks for signs of weeping or play. Additionally verify the brakes for binding calipers or uneven disc wear, as the recent history did not flag these issues.
