2013 Renault Captur 0.9L Petrol · BT13 MLO

This Renault Captur presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 21 July 2025 at 127,969 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a pattern of clean certificates dating back to 2022, suggesting the vehicle has been kept in a condition that consistently meets minimum legal standards without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage accumulation is consistent with the vehicle's age. It covered 13,147 miles between the March 2022 test at 97,547 miles and the March 2023 test at 109,822 miles, followed by a slightly lower increase of 13,077 miles by July 2024. The most recent interval shows 5,069 miles added over a year. These figures indicate regular use rather than prolonged periods of standing, which generally helps prevent perishing rubber seals and seizing brake calipers. The MOT history is unusually clean for a thirteen year old vehicle, showing no recorded advisories for suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake disc corrosion. While the lack of flagged defects is positive, it is rare for a car of this age and mileage to show no wear on consumables. A buyer should manually verify the condition of the tyre treads and brake pad thickness, as the records do not explicitly detail the remaining life of these components. Attention should be paid to the underside for any signs of structural corrosion that the testers may have overlooked or deemed minor. Given the 127,969 mile odometer reading, a physical inspection of the engine mounts and gearbox mounts is recommended to ensure no excessive play has developed. The failure and immediate pass on 2 July 2024 suggests a minor rectification was made quickly, though the record does not specify the fault.
