2015 RENAULT CAPTUR0.9L Petrol

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clear trend of reactive maintenance regarding minor mechanical issues. The most recent test in February 2026 at 73,176 miles resulted in an initial failure due to a non-functional rear fog lamp, which was immediately rectified to achieve a pass. This suggests the current owner is attentive to addressing MOT defects as they arise, and the vehicle shows no evidence of structural degradation or major mechanical failure over the last several years. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,650 miles per year. The record shows steady progression, moving from 30,387 miles in October 2017 to 73,176 miles in early 2026. This low-annual usage generally implies less strain on the drivetrain and engine components, though the interval between tests indicates the car may sit for extended, which can sometimes lead to age-related degradation of rubber-based components and fluids regardless of the distance driven. A physical inspection should focus specifically on the front suspension geometry, as the anti-roll bar linkage ball joints showed noted play in both February 2024 and February 2025. While these were flagged as advisories, the recurring nature of the fault suggests the components are reaching the end of their service life. You should also verify the front tyre alignment, as the 2024 record noted uneven wear on the inner edges, which often indicates a tracking issue or worn bushings. Beyond these specific wear items, checking the condition of the brake discs and pads is advisable given the lack of specific brake advisories in the most recent records.
