2020 Renault Captur S Edition E-Tech Phev A 1.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · 4630 MW

The Renault Captur S Edition E-Tech PHEV passed its most recent MOT on 30 May 2025 at 37,936 miles with no defects recorded, indicating a stable maintenance trend across the available history. The vehicle shows no recurring advisories or mechanical faults in the four tests logged between 2023 and 2025. The clean pass sheet at the latest examination suggests the hybrid drivetrain, suspension, and braking systems were in sound order at that point. Annual mileage sits at roughly 6,323 miles against a six-year lifespan, a typical figure for this age of car. The records show 22,254 miles at the September 2023 test, rising to 30,057 by June 2024 and 31,443 at the failed May 2025 attempt, then jumping to 37,936 two days later on the pass. That two-day gap between the 28 May failure and 30 May pass at differing mileages points to a corrected minor issue or administrative re-test rather than accumulated wear. No rapid accumulation or long standing periods are evident from the sparse but clean data. The May 2025 failure carries no listed defects, so the buyer should still verify in person that no latent corrosion affects structural points or subframes, as the PHEV's battery packaging can mask undertray rust. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for age-related cracking despite the absence of advisories. Check brake disc thickness and caliper operation given the low annual use may promote binding through inactivity. Given the unbroken pass record aside from the anomaly re-test, previous owners appear to have kept basic upkeep current. A pre-purchase inspection should confirm the hybrid system's cooling lines and exhaust emissions remain within tolerance, as MOT sheets alone do not capture gradual degradation between tests.
