2015 Renault Captur 0.9L Petrol · FG15 AAZ

The vehicle's roadworthiness shows signs of a worsening maintenance trend, moving from a clean history to multiple significant advisories and a failure in recent tests. While the September 2025 test at 69,135 miles resulted in a pass, the tester flagged pitted and scored front brake discs. This follows a more problematic March 2025 inspection at 67,716 miles where the vehicle failed on several fronts, including tyre condition, parking brake efficiency, and TPMS issues, before eventually passing with multiple advisories. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 6,285 miles per year. The data shows a steady progression from 28,307 miles in 2018 to the current 69,135 miles in 2025. There are no significant gaps in the testing frequency, suggesting the vehicle has been in regular use rather than sitting idle for long periods. This consistent usage explains the gradual wear seen on consumables like brake pads and tyres. A buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of the vehicle's underside and suspension components. The March 2025 record highlights corrosion on the front subframe mounting areas, Macpherson struts, and anti-roll bar linkages. Although the tester noted this corrosion was not yet excessive, the presence of rust on structural and suspension mounting points requires close monitoring to ensure it does not progress. The rear shock absorbers also showed external casing damage and corrosion during that same test. Braking components require immediate attention. The history shows a failure for thin brake pads in March 2024 at 64,455 miles, followed by inadequate parking brake efficiency and worn front discs in 2025. The recent advisory regarding pitted and scored front discs suggests that the braking system is entering a phase of increased wear. A physical inspection of the brake discs, pads, and the condition of the rear parking brake mechanism is essential before purchase.
