RENAULT CAPTUR2014 · 1.5L Diesel

The 2014 Renault Captur with 98,142 miles shows a stable roadworthiness trend, as the most recent MOT on 2025-09-29 recorded a pass with no defects. However, the same date includes a failed test with identical mileage (98,141 miles), which may indicate administrative duplication or unresolved issues. No structural, braking, or emission faults were noted in the passed tests, suggesting the vehicle has been maintained to meet legal standards. The absence of advisories or critical failures in the 2023 and 2024 MOTs further supports this conclusion. The mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a 12-year-old vehicle, averaging 8,178 miles annually. From 79,795 miles in 2023 to 98,142 miles in 2025, the increase is steady, with no evidence of abrupt spikes or prolonged inactivity. The 2024-09-23 tests at 89,122 miles show no defects, while the 2023-09-08 test at 79,795 miles also passed without issues. This clean record suggests consistent upkeep, though the repeated failed MOT entries without recorded faults raise questions about procedural accuracy or minor non-compliances addressed post-test. A buyer should verify the condition of suspension components, such as bushes and coil springs, which may degrade over time, and inspect the braking system for uneven wear or corrosion. The exhaust system and emission controls should also be checked, as these are common failure points in older vehicles. While the MOT history lacks specific mechanical warnings, the vehicle’s age and mileage warrant a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm the absence of hidden issues, particularly in areas like body corrosion or drivetrain wear.
