2016 Renault Captur 1.5L Diesel · ND16 AAX

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the documented history. Following the most recent test on 22 December 2025 at 55,241 miles, the car successfully passed with no defects recorded. While the record shows a failure on that same date, the lack of listed defects suggests either an administrative error or a non-mechanical failure that was immediately rectified before the retest, leaving the overall mechanical history clean across the last four inspections. The mileage pattern is consistently low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,500 miles per year. Between November 2022 at 35,565 miles and November 2024 at 47,975 miles, the car covered 12,410 miles over two years. The subsequent interval of 7,266 miles over the following year indicates a steady but light usage pattern. This low mileage typically implies less wear on the drivetrain and engine, though it can sometimes lead to component degradation if the vehicle sits for extended periods. Because the MOT record shows no recurring advisories or failures, a buyer should focus on components affected by low-mileage use. Inspect rubber components, such as suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls, for signs of cracking or dry rot from age. Check the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, as infrequently used brakes often suffer from oxidation. The structural integrity appears unadvisised, but a physical check of the chassis remains necessary to ensure no hidden rust development despite the clean test history.
