RENAULT CAPTUR2017 · 1.2L Petrol

The Renault Captur presents a clean roadworthiness status as of the 6 June 2025 test at 42,565 miles, where the DVSA examiner recorded no defects and no advisories. The maintenance trend across the five annual examinations from June 2021 to June 2025 remains entirely stable, with every test resulting in a pass and zero flagged faults. Such consistency indicates the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that avoided even minor consumable wear notifications. The mileage accumulation reflects light use for a nine-year-old car. From the 21 June 2021 test at 18,897 miles to the 24 May 2022 test at 19,049 miles, the Captur covered just 152 miles in eleven months, suggesting a prolonged period of minimal activity. Usage then normalised: 26,300 miles by 1 June 2023, 34,434 miles by 7 June 2024, and 42,565 miles by 6 June 2025, equating to roughly 8,000 miles per annum across the later interval. The overall average of about 4,700 miles yearly sits well below typical expectations for the age. Despite the unblemished MOT record, a buyer should commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs, as low-mileage vehicles left standing can develop perished rubber components or superficial corrosion unseen during a road test. The absence of recorded advisories does not exempt the car from age-related degradation of tyres, wiper blades, or exhaust emissions hardware. Previous owners appear to have adhered to timely annual testing and likely addressed wear preemptively, given the lack of failures or advisories. The Captur's structural integrity and mechanical systems show no documented concerns, but a pre-purchase examination by a qualified technician remains prudent to confirm the DVSA history translates to real-world condition.
