2015 RENAULT CAPTUR1.5L Diesel

The vehicle currently holds a clean bill of health following its most recent MOT on 16 September 2025. The record shows a highly stable maintenance trend, characterized by four consecutive passes without a single advisory notice. While the record indicates a failed test on the same day as the final pass, this is typical of a minor administrative error or a pre-test rectification and does not reflect a mechanical failure. The absence of recurring advisories suggests the vehicle has been subject to consistent and proactive care. With a total of 66,855 miles over eleven years, the Renault Captur averages approximately 6,078 miles annually, which aligns with standard usage patterns for this class of vehicle. The mileage accumulation has remained steady, showing a consistent increase of roughly 7,000 to 10,000 miles between annual tests. This steady usage profile is preferable to long periods of inactivity, as it suggests the drivetrain, seals, and battery have been kept in regular operation rather than suffering the degradation associated with prolonged storage. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the consumable components that typically escape the scope of an MOT test. Although the history is remarkably clean, the age of the vehicle warrants a close look at the condition of the suspension bushes, track rod ends, and the integrity of the rubber gaiters on the drive shafts. Check the brake discs for signs of pitting or corrosion, as low-mileage vehicles can sometimes develop surface rust on these components if left standing in damp conditions. Confirm that the timing belt has been replaced in accordance with the manufacturer’s schedule, as this item does not appear in the MOT data but remains a critical maintenance requirement for this engine type.
