2018 Renault Captur 1.5L Diesel · AJ18 SZD

The Renault Captur presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 26 June 2025 at 60,573 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass dated 3 July 2024 at 52,759 miles confirms no outstanding advisories have carried forward. The vehicle shows no worsening mechanical pattern across its five-year MOT span. Annual mileage averages a modest 7,572 miles against an eight-year life, indicating light use. The records show a tight cluster between 16 November 2023 at 51,531 miles and 17 November 2022 at 48,152 miles, then a slower rise to 52,759 miles by July 2024 and 60,573 miles by June 2025. The only anomaly is the failed test on 2 July 2024 at 52,759 miles, reversed the next day with a pass at identical mileage and no defects logged, suggesting an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Given the absence of any advisories for suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions throughout the history, the previous owner clearly kept the car to a sound standard. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody for hidden rust, and verify the brake calipers are free from binding after standing periods. The clean record offers reassurance, but low mileage can mask perished rubber components and flat-spotted tyres from storage.
