2019 Renault Captur 0.9L Petrol · D2 NMF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a recent shift toward minor component-related wear. The most recent test in October 2025 at 18,708 miles identified pitting and scoring on both nearside and offside front inner brake discs. While these did not result in a failure, the appearance of these defects suggests that the braking system is beginning to show surface corrosion, likely exacerbated by the vehicle's low usage patterns. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,673 miles per annum. Between October 2022 and October 2024, the car covered only 3,605 miles, indicating long periods of stationary or very short urban trips. This low mileage explains the advisory from the October 2023 test at 14,666 miles where the nearside front tyre was flagged for perishing and cracking, a common symptom of rubber that sits for extended periods without sufficient heat cycling. A buyer should physically inspect the tyres for further sidewall cracking or flat spotting, as the low mileage often leads to rubber degradation despite high tread depth. The pitting and scoring noted on the front brake discs require a close look to ensure the pads are not being prematurely worn and that the calipers are not seizing. Additionally, verify the underside suspension bushes and exhaust components for corrosion, as low-use vehicles often suffer from age-related oxidation rather than mechanical wear.
