2014 Renault Captur 1.5L Diesel · YP64 AAU

The vehicle's most recent MOT test on 4 August 2026 shows a pass, but the maintenance trend indicates recurring mechanical issues. The record shows a pattern of instability regarding braking and suspension components. While the 2026 test passed, the advisory for a corroded rear coil spring follows a period of failures and advisories related to braking and suspension joints. The vehicle has covered 75,557 miles over its 12-year lifespan, averaging approximately 6,296 miles per year. This represents typical usage for a vehicle of this age. The MOT history shows regular annual testing, with the most recent tests occurring in July 2025 and August 2026. There are no significant gaps in the testing frequency, though the mechanical issues appear to be emerging more frequently in the last two years. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system and suspension. The nearside rear service brake failed on a major defect in both July 2024 and July 2025 due to being excessively binding. This repetition suggests the underlying cause of the binding caliper or mechanism may not have been fully resolved. The offside front suspension arm ball joint was flagged with slight play in July 2025, and the August 2026 test introduced an advisory for a corroded rear coil spring. Specific attention must be paid to the underside of the vehicle to assess the extent of the corrosion on the coil springs and any other structural components. The recurring nature of the brake binding and the progression from suspension play to spring corrosion suggests that wear on consumables and chassis components is an ongoing consideration for this vehicle. buying_score: 55 risk_level: Medium.
