2017 RENAULT CAPTUR1.2L Petrol

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-05-19 at 6,452 miles recorded a pass with no defects, but an identical date also shows a failure with no defects noted, creating an inconsistency in the record. Previous tests from 2022 to 2024 consistently passed with no issues, indicating a stable maintenance trend over the last four years. However, the lack of a valid MOT beyond May 2025 raises concerns about the vehicle’s current compliance, as it has not been assessed for over 14 months. No structural, braking, or emissions-related faults were flagged in the recorded history, suggesting no immediate safety risks. The vehicle’s mileage of 6,452 miles over nine years equates to approximately 717 miles annually, significantly lower than average usage. This suggests infrequent operation or prolonged periods of inactivity, which can accelerate wear on components like suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers due to lack of movement. The MOT records show no gaps in testing between 2022 and 2025, but the absence of data post-2025 means the current mechanical state remains unverified. The low mileage may preserve parts but does not eliminate risks associated with long-term storage, such as corrosion or fluid degradation. A buyer should inspect the suspension for hardened bushes or coil spring fatigue, as low usage can lead to stiffness. Brake components, including discs and calipers, should be checked for corrosion or binding, particularly if the vehicle has been stationary. Structural integrity is not indicated as compromised, but the lack of recent MOT data means a physical inspection is essential to confirm the absence of hidden issues. The vehicle’s maintenance history shows no recurring faults, but its low mileage and extended testing gap necessitate a thorough pre-purchase check.
