2018 Renault Captur 1.2L Petrol · CA67 YOD

The 2018 Renault Captur holds a current MOT test valid until April 2026 at 68,096 miles, showing a largely stable roadworthiness trend following consecutive test failures in previous years. The historical pattern reveals recurring neglect of basic consumables, specifically tyres and braking components, which caused failures in both January 2024 and April 2025. While the most recent test concluded with a pass, the recurring appearance of perishing rear tyres indicates that preventative maintenance remains reactive rather than proactive. Accumulating 68,096 miles across eight years equates to roughly 8,500 miles annually, representing entirely typical private usage for a compact crossover. The mileage accumulation has remained steady without unexpected surges, jumping from 8,679 miles in January 2021 to 19,727 miles by February 2022, and eventually reaching 68,096 miles by April 2026. This consistent yearly usage means mechanical assemblies have experienced standard operational wear without prolonged periods of inactivity that typically cause corrosion or seizure. A physical inspection must prioritise the rubber components and braking system due to the recurring history of tyre degradation and friction material wear. The buyer should verify the condition of all four tyre sidewalls for the perishing and cracking noted during the last two inspections, check the thickness of the front brake pads which were reported as wearing thin in April 2025, and inspect the offside front anti-roll bar linkage dust cover flagged during the 2024 failure. Confirming whether the brake discs and suspension joints have recently been replaced will determine if the previous owner addressed these persistent advisory items.
