2019 RENAULT CAPTUR1.5L Diesel

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the most recent inspection indicates a shift from a clean record to emerging mechanical wear. While the car passed its tests between 2022 and 2025 without any defects, the April 2026 test at 33,667 miles introduced three advis that suggest the vehicle is beginning to require maintenance related to its age. The mileage profile is exceptionally low, with 33,667 miles over seven years, averaging approximately 4,800 miles per year. This low usage pattern is consistent across the records, moving from 6,477 miles in April 2022 to 26,638 miles in March 2025. However, low annual mileage often leads to age-related degradation of rubber components rather than mechanical wear from distance. The 2026 report of cracking and perishing tyres is a direct consequence of this, as the rubber compound dries out over time despite having low tread depth. A buyer should prioritize an inspection of the offside rear brake system due to the binding noted in the April 2026 test. This indicates a sticking caliper piston or seized slide pin which can lead to uneven pad wear and premature component failure. The perishing tyres also require immediate replacement as structural cracking in the sidewalls compromises the integrity of the tyre under load. Beyond these specific items, the history shows a stable trend with no structural corrosion or emission failures recorded to date.
