CHEVROLET CAPTIVA2013 · 2.2L DIESEL

The vehicle currently presents as roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT test on 4 August 2025 at 68,895 miles. The maintenance trend shows a stable pattern where the vehicle consistently clears the test on the same day it previously fails, suggesting that issues are rectified immediately upon discovery. The lack of recorded advisories across the last three passes indicates that the primary mechanical and structural components remain within tolerance limits for now. The mileage profile is notably low for a thirteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,300 miles per annum. Between the June 2023 test at 56,860 miles and the August 2024 test at 62,783 miles, the car covered 6,023 miles, while another 6,112 miles were clocked between August 2024 and August 2025. This consistent, low-intensity usage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, though it can sometimes lead to rubber-based components becoming brittle from age rather than mileage. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the chassis and underbody for structural corrosion, as low-mileage vehicles in damp climates often suffer from surface rust that does not yet trigger an MOT failure. Given the immediate failures in 2024 and 2025 that resulted in instant passes, it is vital to verify what specific components were repaired to ensure they were not merely temporary fixes. Inspect the suspension bushes for cracking and the brake calipers for seizing, as these components degrade over time regardless of the distance driven.
