2014 Renault Captur 1.5L Diesel · CX14 ABF

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a remarkably stable maintenance history. The most recent MOT test conducted on 9 September 2025 at 35,442 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, maintaining a clean record across the last five annual inspections. This consistent performance suggests that the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that avoids the mechanical failures or structural degradation typically seen in older cars. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,954 miles per year. Between the August 2021 test at 24,578 miles and the September 2025 test at 35,442 miles, the car covered only 10,864 miles. This low usage indicates minimal mechanical stress, which generally reduces wear on the drivetrain, engine, and braking system. However, such low mileage can sometimes lead to age-related degradation of rubber-based components and fluid breakdown rather than mileage-related wear. Despite the clean MOT record, a buyer must perform a physical inspection of components affected by time rather than distance. Rubber elements such as suspension bushes, wiper blades, and tyre sidewalls perish and crack even when the vehicle is driven infrequently. The brakes should also be checked for caliper seizing or corrosion, as long periods of standing can cause the brake discs to pit. Checking the chassis for surface rust or structural integrity remains essential to ensure that the low mileage has not shielded the vehicle from environmental damage over the last decade.
