2017 Renault Captur 1.2L Petrol · AJ17 RXT

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the most recent inspection indicates a shift toward deferred maintenance on consumables. While the car passed its test in March 2026 at 63,192 miles, the tester flagged an offside rear parking brake that only marginally met the efficiency threshold and an offside front inner tyre worn to the legal limit. This represents a worsening trend from the clean records of 2024 and 2025, suggesting that minor wear items are now requiring attention. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-to-moderate profile, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per year. There is a notable gap of 9,260 miles between June 2022 and June 2023, followed by a more regular accumulation of roughly 1,700 to 4,000 miles annually thereafter. This low annual mileage generally suggests less mechanical stress on the drivetrain and suspension, but the long intervals between tests can sometimes lead to rubber-based degradation, as seen with the perishing tyres noted in the 2023 test. A buyer should physically inspect the braking system specifically, as the marginal pass on the offside rear parking brake indicates a potential need for cable adjustment or replacement of the mechanism. The recurring issues with uneven tyre wear and perishing across 2023 and 2026 suggest that an alignment issue or worn suspension bushes should be verified. Furthermore, because the 2022 test noted an inability to check rear belts due to obstruction, the physical condition of the handbrake assembly should be checked to ensure no hidden corrosion or damage has occurred over time.
