2015 Renault Captur 1.5L Diesel · AP15 KHU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the most recent inspection history indicates a shift toward reactive maintenance. While the car passed its test in September 2025 at 55,692 miles, it failed just one day prior due to critical tyre failures and hardware defects. The transition from a clean record in 2023 to multiple failures in 2025 suggests a worsening trend where maintenance items are deferred until the MOT test date rather than addressed through a proactive service schedule. At 55,692 miles, this 11-year-old Renault Captur has covered significantly less distance than the national average, averaging roughly five thousand miles annually. This low usage typically implies less wear on the drivetrain and engine, yet the data shows a notable gap in activity. Between September 2022 at 36,446 miles and September 2023 at 38,352 miles, the vehicle covered only 1,906 miles in year. Such low mileage suggests the car may have sat for long periods, which can lead to the degradation of rubber components and fluid systems despite the low mechanical mileage. A buyer must physically inspect the offside front road wheel, as the 2025 test flagged a slight distortion that persists. This often results from a significant impact or kerbing and could potentially affect the suspension geometry or steering alignment. The recurring wear on the nearside front tyre noted in both 2024 and 2025 indicates a persistent alignment issue or a camber fault that requires a professional laser alignment check. Additionally, the insecure registration plate lamp and the obstruction caused by the child seat are minor fixes but highlight a lack of general attention to detail by the previous owner.
