2015 Renault Captur 1.5L Diesel · NL65 AEC

The 2015 Renault Captur presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the 25 July 2025 DVSA test at 81,522 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Five consecutive annual examinations from 2021 to 2025 show clean results, indicating no worsening pattern or recurring mechanical faults. The odometer advanced from 50,610 miles at the 15 July 2021 test to 81,522 miles by the 25 July 2025 examination, a spread of 30,912 miles over four years. Annual increments ran 9,671, 11,697, 5,737 then 3,807 miles, revealing progressively lighter use in the later period. The record contains no gaps; the keeper submitted the car each July without lapse, reflecting consistent compliance. No advisories on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, corrosion or exhaust emissions appear in any entry, implying previous owners rectified wear before each test. Such an unbroken clean ledger suggests disciplined basic upkeep rather than skipped servicing. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection given the vehicle's eleven-year age. The examiner must check structural integrity underneath for corrosion, examine calipers for binding, and measure brake disc wear. The MOT pass does not exempt the Captur from age-related fatigue in exhaust hangers or suspension bushes, so verify these components in person.
