2020 Renault Captur Iconic TCE 1.3L Petrol · GV20 AEY

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, showing a clear trend of improvement in recent testing. The most recent inspection conducted in January 2026 at 27,037 miles resulted in a clean pass, indicating that the mechanical issues identified in previous years have been addressed. This progression suggests the current owner has been proactive with maintenance once faults were flagged by the DVSA. The mileage profile is notably low for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,500 miles per annum. The data shows consistent but light usage, moving from 14,983 miles in July 2023 to 27,037 miles by January 2026. While this low mileage typically results in less wear on the drivetrain and engine-related components, the long intervals between tests can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based parts or corrosion on brake surfaces if the car has sat stationary for extended periods. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension and braking system, given the faults noted in the July 2023 test. The tester previously identified a worn offside front lower suspension arm bush and worn brake discs on both front wheels. Although the subsequent tests passed without defects, a physical check should verify that the suspension bushes remain free of play and that the brake discs have sufficient thickness without pitting. Additionally, the frayed offside front seat belt webbing mentioned in 2023 should be inspected to ensure it has been replaced and no longer shows structural weakness.
