2015 Renault Captur 0.9L Petrol · CA65 ABZ

The Renault Captur holds a roadworthy certificate from its latest MOT on 2 September 2025 at 81,277 miles, with the tester logging a pass and no defects. Mechanical trend across the recorded history stays stable, showing zero advisories since the 13 July 2023 test at 64,564 miles. The vehicle cleared that early examination cleanly and maintained the pattern through subsequent checks. Odometer readings track typical ageing for an eleven-year model, averaging near 7,400 miles annually. The jump from 64,564 miles in July 2023 to 78,320 miles by 9 October 2024 covers roughly 13,700 miles in fifteen months. Coverage then slowed sharply: only 2,308 miles to the 30 May 2025 test at 80,628 miles, and a mere 649 miles to the September 2025 pass. Such tapering implies reduced recent use, though the five-entry ledger remains sparse. Both failed tests on 9 October 2024 at 78,320 miles and 30 May 2025 at 80,628 miles document no defects, pointing to administrative or procedural causes rather than worn tyres, binding calipers or exhaust emissions faults. A purchaser must still instruct a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and structural corrosion given the car's age. Clean DVSA entries do not rule out unseen degradation of chassis and consumable parts. Prior keepers sustained the Captur to passable standard, evidenced by fault-free passes in 2023 and 2024 and the final 2025 certificate. The unexplained failures suggest possible gaps in test paperwork that justify scrutiny of full service records. A qualified technician should verify structural integrity and mechanical function before purchase, as the official dataset alone cannot capture intermittent wear.
