2018 Renault Captur 0.9L Petrol · CE68 OLK

The vehicle remains currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history shows a trend of reactive servicing regarding braking components. While the most recent test in October 2025 at 57,243 miles passed, it flagged multiple defects including thin offside front pads and worn front inner brake discs. This follows a pattern seen in the 2024 test where both front discs were noted as pitted and scored, suggesting that the owner tends to address components once they approach failure thresholds rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage accumulation is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 7,155 miles per year. This aligns with typical UK usage for a 2018 registration. The intervals between tests are regular, with roughly 7,000 to 8,000 miles covered between annual inspections. The clean record in 2023 at 46,582 miles indicates a period where the vehicle was in good mechanical condition, though the subsequent appearance of brake-related issues in the following two years indicates accelerated wear on the front braking system. A buyer should specifically inspect the front braking system in person. The recurring reports of pitted discs and thin pads across three separate tests suggest the calipers may be sticking or that the components are being worn unevenly. Additionally, the 2025 advisory regarding perishing rear tyres between treads indicates the rubber is degrading due to age or periods of standing rather than just tread depth. Check the sidewalls for micro-cracking and ensure the front discs have been replaced since the last test, as the record shows they were already nearing the end of their functional life.
