2015 Renault Captur 1.5L Diesel · CE15 FNA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a failure to address recurring suspension issues. The most recent test in March 2026 at 76,130 miles again flagged a slight play in the offside front anti-roll bar linkage ball joint. This specific defect was previously identified in March 2024 at 65,128 miles, indicating that the owner has opted to tolerate minor mechanical wear rather than replacing the component between multiple inspections. The mileage pattern remains consistent with an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per year. Between April 2025 and March 2026, the car covered roughly 5,000 miles, suggesting regular but light usage. The gap of over 6,000 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests shows a steady usage interval, though the 2024 failure due to a split nearside drive shaft CV boot was rectified promptly to allow a clean pass in the following year's test. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the offside front anti-roll bar linkage to determine if the play has progressed toward a total failure. The recurring nature of this fault suggests a reactive approach to maintenance regarding suspension components. Additionally, while the 2023 advisory for a worn nearside front tyre was addressed, the buyer should check the remaining tyres for uneven wear patterns to ensure that alignment issues are not causing premature degradation of the rubber.
