2015 RENAULT CAPTUR1.5L Diesel

The vehicle shows a history of reactive maintenance where faults are often addressed only after failing an MOT test. In the most recent test in March 2026 at 87,001 miles, the tester flagged play in both front anti-roll bar linkage ball joints and noted that both front tyres were worn close to the legal depth limit. This follows a recurring pattern of uneven tyre wear, specifically seen in 2024 and 2023 where the inner edges were significantly worn, suggesting a persistent alignment issue or suspension geometry problem that remains unresolved. The mileage progression is consistent with an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 8,000 miles per year. However, the record reveals a lapse in monitoring critical drivetrain components. The offside front drive shaft constant velocity boot was flagged as split in 2022, 2023, and 2025. While these were likely replaced following the failures, the frequency of this fault indicates that the owner does not perform proactive inspections of rubber components, which can lead to premature CV joint failure. Braking and lighting components have also required attention. The March 2023 test at 58,935 miles identified thin front pads and worn discs with heavy lips, while the 2024 test noted a binding nearside rear caliper. Although the vehicle passed its subsequent tests, the history of binding brakes and uneven tyre wear suggests the braking system experiences uneven stress. A buyer should verify the current state of the front suspension and ensure the wheel alignment is corrected to prevent the rapid degradation of new tyres.
