RENAULT CAPTUR2018 · 0.9L Petrol

The 2018 Renault Captur demonstrates stable roadworthiness, with no defects recorded in its last five MOT tests, including the most recent 2025-05-17 assessment at 42,994 miles. All prior tests from 2021 to 2024 also passed without issues, indicating consistent maintenance. No advisories or critical failures are noted, suggesting the vehicle has been well cared for. The absence of recurring mechanical concerns over eight years implies a reliable baseline for further inspection. The vehicle’s mileage of 42,994 miles at age eight years equates to approximately 5,374 miles annually, significantly below the UK average for its age. This low usage aligns with gradual mileage increases between MOT tests: 11,537 (2021), 19,965 (2022), 27,717 (2023), 34,766 (2024), and 42,994 (2025). The consistent annual jumps of ~8,000–8,500 miles suggest regular but light driving. However, the prolonged intervals between tests (one year apart) and the low total mileage may indicate periods of inactivity, which could affect suspension components like bushes or coil springs, or lead to brake disc corrosion if the vehicle was parked for extended periods. A buyer should inspect the suspension for dry or worn bushes, particularly if the car has been stationary for long durations. Brake systems should be checked for corrosion on discs and calipers, as low mileage can sometimes mask wear from inactivity. While the MOT history shows no structural rust or emission issues, a physical examination of the underbody and exhaust system is recommended to confirm integrity. The vehicle’s maintenance record reflects reliability, but its low mileage and age warrant a thorough check of components prone to degradation during inactivity.
