2015 Renault Captur 0.9L Petrol · BF15 TDO

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a clear shift towards neglected consumable upkeep. While the most recent test in March 2026 at 14,216 miles passed, it resulted in multiple advisories related to tyre condition and wear. This represents a departure from the clean records seen in 2023 and 2025, indicating that the current owner is failing to address routine maintenance items that were previously managed. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,300 miles per year. The data shows consistent, low-interval usage moving from 8,973 miles in March 2023 to 14,216 miles in March 2026. While this low mileage typically reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, the long stationary periods often lead to degradation of rubber-based components. This is evidenced by the recurring perishing and cracking noted in the tyres across multiple MOT tests over the last three years. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of all four tyres and the surrounding suspension components. The March 2026 test flagged the offside front and nearside front tyres as being close to the legal limit and worn on the edge, while the offside rear suffered from a nail and perishing. These cracks suggest the rubber is becoming brittle due to age rather than just tread depth. You should also check for brake disc corrosion and seized calipers, as low-mileage vehicles that sit for long periods frequently suffer from surface rust and uneven braking performance.
