RENAULT CAPTUR2014 · 1.5L Diesel

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test on 11 November 2025 at 72,150 miles resulted in a pass with no defects, following a failure just one day prior at 72,143 miles. This specific sequence suggests a minor administrative error or a trivial sensor-related failure that was rectified immediately before the retest. Since 2023, the car has passed without recorded advisories, indicating a consistent level of mechanical upkeep in recent years. The mileage profile is remarkably consistent for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per year. Between the October 2023 and October 2024 tests, the car covered 1,321 miles, while it covered 1,626 miles between the October 2024 and November 2025 tests. This low-usage pattern suggests the vehicle is used for short-distance trips, which typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, though it can occasionally lead to dry rubber seals or brake corrosion if the car sits stationary for extended periods. While the clean MOT history is encouraging, a buyer should physically inspect the vehicle for common low-mileage age issues. Check the brake discs for surface pitting and the seized calipers, as infrequent use can prevent the components from cleaning themselves. Given the age of the Renault Captur, examine the structural integrity of the wheel arches for corrosion and inspect the condition of the suspension bushes and control arm joints to ensure they remain supple despite the low recorded mileage.
