2014 Renault Captur 1.5L Diesel · AP14 VVH

The vehicle currently presents a good roadworthiness status, following a clean pass on April 28, 2026, at69,839 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car has avoided recorded defects in its three most recent tests. While a failure occurred in April 2025, the subsequent pass one week later indicates that the identified mechanical issues were addressed promptly to bring the vehicle back to regulatory standards. The mileage profile is notably low for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,820 miles per year. Data shows a significant period of low usage between March 2023 at 65,776 miles and April 2024 at 66,484 miles, where only 708 miles were covered in a full year. Such low mileage often reduces wear on the drivetrain but can occasionally lead to the degradation of rubber components and flat-spotting tyres if the vehicle sits for long periods. However, the accumulation remains consistent over the last two years. A buyer should pay close attention to the rear braking system given the failure recorded in April 2025 at 66,553 miles. The tester flagged an imbalanced brake across the axle and a binding offside rear service brake, which typically suggests a seized caliper piston or corroded slider pins. Physical inspection should verify that the repair was effective and that the brakes now operate without excessive heat. Given the age of the vehicle, a check for corrosion on the brake lines and suspension bushes is also advisable, as low mileage does not prevent environmental-related oxidation.
