2017 Renault Captur 1.5L Diesel · CE67 UBM

Based on the official DVSA MOT records, the 2017 Renault Captur presents a stable mechanical profile with no evidence of structural corrosion, exhaust emissions failures, or major component defects. The most recent test on 27 August 2025 at 15,223 miles resulted in a pass, and the maintenance trend is essentially stable. The vehicle has avoided serious mechanical failures across its recorded history, with all recorded defects limited to minor consumable items rather than structural or safety-critical systems. The tester flagged no suspension, braking, or steering defects at any point in the available record. The recorded mileage of 15,223 miles at nine years old equates to roughly 1,691 miles per year, which is exceptionally low for a vehicle of this age. The mileage progression shows a gradual accumulation from 13,235 miles in September 2023 to 14,654 miles in September 2024, then to 15,223 miles by August 2025, indicating consistent but light use. There are no sudden jumps suggesting long-distance towing or commercial abuse, nor any gaps that would raise odometer tampering concerns. The vehicle appears to have been used for short, local journeys, which typically places less stress on the drivetrain but can increase the risk of DPF clogging and battery drain if trips are too brief for full warm-up cycles. The recurring defects across the record are minor and consumable in nature. Front tyre wear and sidewall deterioration appeared in both the 2024 and 2025 tests, suggesting the previous owner did not rotate or replace tyres proactively. The windscreen washer system failed in September 2024 and was flagged again in August 2025, indicating a persistent issue that may point to a blocked jet, failing pump, or perished hose rather than a one-off top-up oversight. These are low-cost items but suggest basic fluid and rubber maintenance was not consistently attended to. A prospective buyer should inspect the front tyres closely for uneven wear patterns and sidewall cracking, check the windscreen washer system for leaks or electrical faults, and verify the condition of the brake discs and pads given the low mileage and potential for surface corrosion from prolonged standing. The underbody and suspension bushes should also be examined for perishing, as infrequent use can cause rubber components to dry out despite low wear. Overall, the record indicates a mechanically sound vehicle with no red flags, but the minor recurring advisories point to a pattern of reactive rather than proactive maintenance.
