2014 Renault Captur 1.5L Diesel · CV14 XEL

The Renault Captur presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 15 October 2025 at 81,291 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The vehicle cleared with no defects recorded at that test. This follows a clean pass on 1 November 2024 at 75,750 miles, indicating no escalating mechanical concerns over the trailing twelve months. The recorded mileage of 81,291 against a 2014 build dates the car at roughly 6,774 miles per annum, a typical usage rate for its age. Between the 12 August 2024 pass at 75,448 miles and the 1 November 2024 pass at 75,750 miles, the vehicle covered only 302 miles in just under three months, then sat virtually static at 75,750 for the 28 October 2024 failure and 1 November 2024 pass. The 5,541-mile accumulation to the October 2025 test reflects a return to normal annual use. The DVSA record is sparse, showing no advisories or defects across any entry, which limits deeper wear inference. The two failed tests on 14 October 2025 and 28 October 2024 both list no defects recorded, a pattern consistent with administrative or documentation failures rather than mechanical rejection. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers, and underbody corrosion, as the MOT history offers no visibility of these components beyond the absence of flagged faults. Given the clean advisory sheet, previous keepers appear to have maintained basic test compliance, though the twin no-defect failures warrant confirmation that they were not linked to outstanding recalls or identification discrepancies. Physical verification of tyre tread depth, exhaust emissions, and structural integrity remains prudent before purchase.
