2017 Renault Captur 0.9L Petrol · CU17 OMP

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT test without any mechanical failures. The test conducted on 20 October 2025 at 68,455 miles noted only an advisory regarding undertrays obscuring the view of the undercarriage. While the most recent result is clean, the maintenance trend shows a history of reactive repairs where mechanical faults identified in previous years were addressed only after they were flagged by the tester. The mileage pattern is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,600 miles per year. The record shows steady accumulation, with roughly 9,000 miles driven between October 2024 and October 2025, and another 9,700 miles between October 2023 and October 2024. This regular use suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stagnation, which is generally beneficial for rubber seals and brake components to prevent seizing or perish. A buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the suspension and braking systems based on historical data. The October 2022 test at 41,683 miles flagged low efficiency on the offside rear parking brake and play in the offside front suspension arm ball joint. Although these were resolved for subsequent tests, the buyer should verify that the parking brake remains effective and the suspension joints are free of play. Additionally, the recurring advisories for tyres worn to the legal limit in 2021 and 2023 suggest a pattern of neglecting basic consumable maintenance or experiencing alignment issues that cause uneven wear. Checking the current tyre tread depth and wear patterns across all four wheels is essential to ensure they have been replaced recently.
