2018 RENAULT CAPTUR1.5L DIESEL

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a recent decline in basic consumable upkeep. While the most recent test in February 2026 at 73,441 miles passed, it introduced advisories for both nearside and offside front tyres being worn to the legal limit and showing edge wear. This marks a shift from the 2022 to 2024 periods where the vehicle presented no recorded defects. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,200 miles per year. The record shows steady usage, with roughly 7,000 miles covered between the 2024 and 2025 tests, and another 9,200 miles in the year leading up to the 2026 inspection. This regular interval suggests the car has not suffered from long periods of stagnation, which is generally beneficial for seals and mechanical components, though the consistent accumulation of miles explains the wear and tear on the suspension and braking systems. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the wheel geometry and suspension, as the recurring edge wear noted in 2025 and 2026 indicates potential alignment issues or worn suspension bushes and shock absorbers. Given that the rear tyres were flagged in 2025 and the front tyres are now failing, the vehicle requires immediate tyre replacement. There is no evidence of structural corrosion or serious mechanical failures in the history, but the transition from clean records to multiple tyre advisories suggests the owner may only be addressing maintenance when prompted by the MOT test.
