2018 Renault Captur 0.9L Petrol · BG18 LDC

The 2018 Renault Captur presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a fully clean MOT pass recorded on 11 March 2026 at 13,990 miles with zero defects. That clean sheet follows a pattern of generally well-kept annual tests, with only minor, easily rectified advisories appearing in the 2024 cycle. The most recent pass, conducted just three months ago, confirms the vehicle met all roadworthiness standards at its current mileage with no outstanding concerns. The mileage profile is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle. Annual accumulation averages roughly 1,749 miles per year, with recorded intervals showing consistent but light use: 10,890 miles in March 2024, 12,404 miles in March 2025, and 13,990 miles in March 2026. The year-on-year increments of approximately 1,500 to 1,600 miles suggest regular short-journey driving rather than long periods of inactivity. No abnormal gaps or sudden mileage spikes appear in the record, and the data set is complete with consecutive annual tests from 2023 onward. The only recurring advisory theme centres on front tyre condition. In the March 2024 test at 10,890 miles, both the Nearside and Offside Front tyres were flagged for inner edge wear, wear close to the legal limit, and perishing. This combination points to a likely wheel alignment or front suspension geometry issue, particularly given the low annual mileage that would not normally produce such wear patterns. A prospective buyer should inspect the current front tyres for uneven wear, check tracking and alignment, and examine the front suspension bushes and ball joints for play. The 2023 failure for an ineffective Nearside wiper blade was a trivial consumable item and has since been resolved, carrying no mechanical significance. Beyond the tyre wear pattern, the record contains no structural corrosion advisories, no brake defects, no exhaust emissions failures, and no suspension component rejections. The clean 2025 and 2026 passes suggest the previous owner addressed the tyre and alignment issues promptly. A test drive focusing on steering pull, uneven braking feel, and any clunking from the front end would provide practical confirmation that the flagged wear pattern has been properly corrected and is not recurring.
