2014 Renault Captur 0.9L Petrol · T44 YAV

This Renault Captur has maintained a consistent MOT pass record over the past five years, with the most recent test on 2025-10-24 at 60,673 miles confirming no defects. The absence of advisories or failings across all five tests suggests the vehicle has been subjected to regular, if not rigorous, maintenance. However, the lack of any recorded issues does not preclude the need for a thorough independent inspection, particularly given the vehicle’s age and the wear expected at this mileage. The recorded mileage of 60,673 miles over approximately 12 years—roughly 5,056 miles per annum—indicates light usage, which may imply prolonged periods of storage or infrequent driving. There are no significant gaps between tests, with intervals averaging around 12 months, though the 2022 test occurred slightly later in the year (November) compared to the others. This regularity in testing aligns with UK MOT frequency requirements, but it does not guarantee all underlying components have been serviced or replaced as recommended. Given the absence of MOT-reported faults, a buyer should prioritise an inspection of high-wear items not routinely checked in an MOT, such as suspension bushes and coil springs for excessive play or corrosion, as well as brake calipers and discs for uneven wear or binding. The drivetrain, including the gearbox and differential, should be assessed for fluid leaks or unusual noise, while the exhaust system warrants scrutiny for rust penetration or cracked pipes, particularly around flanges. Given the vehicle’s age, corrosion checks at wheel arches, sills, and the subframe are essential, as are tyre tread depths and lateral wear patterns, which could indicate alignment issues. The battery and electrical connections should also be inspected, as prolonged storage can accelerate corrosion in terminals.
