2019 Renault Captur 1.3L Petrol · AF69 KSV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, with the maintenance trend showing stability after a period of mechanical inconsistency. The most recent test on 21 August 2025 at 17,147 miles resulted in a clean pass following an initial failure on the same day for insufficient washer fluid flow. This indicates that the previous mechanical and visibility issues were addressed immediately upon discovery, leaving the car in a compliant state with no outstanding defects. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a seven-year-old vehicle, having covered only 17,147 miles in total. This averages approximately 2,450 miles per annum, which is significantly below the national average. Between the August 2023 test at 14,584 miles and the August 2024 test at 15,941 miles, the car covered just 1,357 miles. While this reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, such low usage can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components and corrosion on brake discs. A buyer should pay close attention to the recurring visibility issues noted in the 2024 record. The failure at 15,941 miles flagged ineffective wiper blades, windscreen washer failure, and incorrect headlamp aim. While these were rectified, a physical inspection should confirm that the wiper arms are not perished and that the washer pump is not intermittently seizing or failing. The 2024 failure due to a misfire preventing emissions testing is also notable for a low-mileage car, as it may suggest fuel dilution issues or ignition coil fouling resulting from short-trip driving. The previous test also identified a damaged and insecure undertray. It is essential to verify that this plastic shielding has been properly secured and is not causing further damage to the exhaust system or lower wiring lines. Given the low mileage, the buyer should also check for surface rust on the brake rotors, which frequently accumulates on vehicles that sit stationary for long periods without regular use.
