2014 Renault Captur 1.5L Diesel · CP14 XRZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive rather than proactive ownership style. The most recent test on October 27, 2025, at 80,552 miles shows a pass just six days after a failure. While the nearside front coil spring was rectified, the vehicle returned with multiple advisories regarding brake disc corrosion and tyre wear. This suggests the owner only addresses faults when they necessitate an MOT failure rather than performing preventative maintenance on consumable components. The mileage pattern is consistent with a vehicle used for low-distance commuting, averaging approximately 6,700 miles per year. Between October 2023 at 66,950 miles and October 2025 at 80,552 miles, the car covered 13,602 miles. This steady accumulation indicates the car has not sat for long periods, which is generally positive for rubber seals and mechanical components. However, the low annual mileage does not exempt the vehicle from age-related degradation, particularly as seen in the recent records. A buyer should closely inspect the front suspension assembly, as the history shows both a worn anti-roll bar linkage in 2023 and a fractured coil spring in 2025. The front brake discs were flagged for wear and corrosion in the latest test, so these should be checked for thickness and surface pitting to avoid immediate replacement. Additionally, the recurring issues with rear tyres being worn to the legal limit or perishing across the last two years warrant a thorough physical check for uneven wear or sidewall cracking to ensure the alignment is not compromised.
