2016 Renault Captur 1.5L Diesel · DA16 EBO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. While the most recent test in November 2025 at 69,674 miles resulted in a pass, it carried significant advisories for both front tyres being worn to the legal limit with inner edge wear. This indicates a persistent issue with wheel alignment or geometry that has remained unaddressed since at least the failure in late 2024. At approximately ten years old with 69,674 miles, the Renault Captur has averaged roughly 7,000 miles per year, which is consistent with low-to-moderate annual use. The data shows a period of activity between October 2023 and November 2025, where the vehicle covered nearly 20,000 miles in just fourteen months. This rapid accumulation explains the frequent flagging of consumable components, but the lack of recorded defects in the clean-November 2024 test suggests the car is driven regularly until the hardware naturally wears down to the point of failure. A buyer must specifically inspect the front suspension and steering components, as the recurring inner edge wear on the front tyres suggests worn bushes or failing ball joints. The October 2024 failure highlighted a compromised anti-roll bar linkage ball joint cover and thin front brakes. Given the history of thin brake pads and scored discs, the buyer should verify the remaining life of the current braking system and ensure the front alignment has been professionally corrected to prevent premature degradation of new tyres.
