2019 Renault Captur 1.5L Diesel · CT04 DPG

The vehicle presents a highly stable maintenance trend, culminating in a completely clean pass at its most recent inspection. The March 2026 test at 34,973 miles recorded zero defects, confirming the Captur currently meets all roadworthiness standards without any advisories. The trend is firmly stable and improving, as the vehicle has consistently passed its annual inspections without mechanical or structural rejections since 2023. The mileage accumulation sits notably low for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 4,996 miles annually. Between the March 2023 test at 20,499 miles and the March 2024 test at 25,018 miles, the car covered 4,519 miles. The following year, up to the March 2025 test at 29,214 miles, it added 4,196 miles. Most recently, the 12-month interval leading to the March 2026 test at 34,973 miles shows an increase of 5,759 miles, indicating a slight uptick in usage. The 2025 record shows a failed test on March 18 at 29,187 miles, followed by a pass just two days later at 29,214 miles with no defects recorded, suggesting a minor procedural issue or a rectified fault that left no lasting advisory. Because the MOT record contains no recurring mechanical or structural faults, the buyer's physical inspection must focus on the specific risks associated with low-mileage, short-hop driving rather than chronic component failure. The official history flags no issues with the brakes, suspension, or structure, yet low annual mileages often result in brake disc corrosion and binding calipers due to a lack of sustained heat cycles. Similarly, perished suspension bushes and tyre sidewall cracking can develop from prolonged stationary periods. The absence of recorded defects means any deterioration in these areas will not be documented until they become a safety risk. A buyer should closely examine the condition of the brake discs for surface rust, check the rubber suspension components for drying or cracking, and verify the tyre manufacture dates to ensure they are not suffering from age-related degradation.
