2015 Renault Captur 1.5L Diesel · AP15 PDV

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT in July 2025 at 19,459 miles. While the overall trend appears stable, the latest inspection indicates the emergence of minor mechanical issues related to age rather than use. The tester flagged an offside rear service brake binding and perishing on all four tyres, suggesting that the vehicle's components are beginning to age out despite the low mechanical mileage. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,770 miles per year. Data from 2021 to 2025 shows consistent, incremental growth, moving only 2,211 miles over a four-year period. This pattern suggests the car is used for short trips or remains stationary for long durations. Such low usage often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components and oxidation of braking surfaces, which aligns with the defects seen in the record. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the tyre condition, as the recurring reports of cracking and perishing in 2022 and 2025 indicate the rubber is reaching the end of its structural life regardless of tread depth. The reported offside rear brake binding requires a thorough check of the caliper pistons and slide pins to ensure they have not seized due to inactivity. Additionally, the underside should be inspected for corrosion, as low-mileage vehicles often sit in environments where moisture can accelerate rust on the chassis and exhaust system.
