2021 Renault Captur S Edition TCE 1.3L Petrol · LY21 AFO

This Renault Captur has maintained an immaculate MOT record over its most recent three tests, with no defects or advisories logged since March 2024. The March 2026 test at 34,114 miles confirms the vehicle remains structurally sound and mechanically compliant, suggesting either meticulous upkeep or a history of low-wear operation. The absence of recurring advisories—particularly on suspension components, brake systems, or corrosion—implies no hidden neglect or progressive deterioration. For a vehicle of this age and mileage, such a clean history is uncommon and points to either a single conscientious owner or a well-documented fleet history with rigorous servicing. The mileage accumulation aligns closely with typical usage for its age, averaging around 6,823 miles per year. The gaps between tests are consistent, with each MOT falling roughly 12 months apart (March 2024 to March 2025 to March 2026), and mileage increments reflect steady, moderate driving rather than sporadic or aggressive use. There’s no evidence of rapid mileage spikes that might suggest high-performance modifications or neglectful storage periods. The low total mileage—just over 34,000—further reduces wear risks on components like coil springs, suspension bushes, and brake discs, which often degrade faster on higher-mileage examples. Given the flawless MOT history, a buyer should still verify a few key areas in person. While the official records show no issues, the suspension—particularly the rear coil springs and bushings—should be checked for any signs of sagging or uneven wear, as these can develop silently even without MOT flags. The brake system, including caliper binding and disc thickness, should be inspected for uneven pad wear or corrosion, though the lack of advisories reduces risk. Structural integrity, especially around wheel arches and underseal areas prone to corrosion, should be scrutinised for early rust, particularly if the vehicle has spent time in damp or salty conditions. Finally, while the MOT history is pristine, a pre-purchase inspection by a qualified mechanic would confirm the condition of consumables like tyres, wiper blades, and fluid levels, which aren’t always captured in the official test.
