2019 Renault Captur 1.3L Petrol · AP19 FNV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive rather than proactive care. While the most recent test in October 2025 at 33,740 miles resulted in a pass, it followed an immediate failure involving multiple safety items including a stretched nearside front brake hose. The transition from a clean record in previous years to multiple defects recently suggests that the previous owner addresses mechanical faults only when prompted by annual testing rather than during routine service intervals. At 33,740 miles over seven years, the Captur reflects low annual mileage, averaging approximately 4,800 miles per year. The data shows inconsistent usage patterns; for instance, the vehicle covered 7,739 miles between October 2022 and September 2023, but only 6,584 miles in the two years between September 2023 and October 2025. This low-use profile can lead to the degradation of rubber components and brake seals due to inactivity, which aligns with the discovery of a stretched brake hose in the October 2025 test. A buyer must inspect the front suspension geometry for persistent alignment issues. The record repeatedly notes uneven tyre wear, specifically on the inner edge in 2023 and the edge of the nearside tyre in 2025, which points to worn bushes or tracking tie-rod ends that have not been properly rectified. Furthermore, the braking system requires close scrutiny as the 2023 test flagged very low pads, and the 2025 failure for a stretched hose indicates the hydraulic components are reaching the end of their functional life.
