2017 RENAULT CAPTUR1.5L Diesel

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted on 30 April 2025 at 34,100 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This sustained trend of perfect scores suggests the previous owners have maintained the vehicle to a high standard where mechanical components have not reached a point of measurable failure within the last five years. The mileage pattern is notably low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,800 miles per annum. Between the 2021 test at 22,566 miles and the April 2025 test at 34,100 miles, the car covered only 11,534 miles over four years. This low usage indicates short-distance commuting or infrequent use. While low mileage reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, it can sometimes lead to secondary issues such as rubber degradation or brake corrosion due to lack of regular movement. Given the lack of recorded mechanical faults, a buyer should focus on physical signs related to low-mileage storage. Inspect the tyres for flat-spotting or sidewall cracking, as rubber ages regardless of tread depth. Check the brake discs for surface pitting or rust which often occurs when a vehicle sits for extended periods. Additionally, verify the suspension bushes and rubber boots for signs of cracking, as these components can become brittle over time rather than wearing out through mileage.
