2022 Renault Captur RS Line TCE 1.3L Petrol · DL22 KYB

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a recurring issue with the rear tyre condition. The most recent test in April 2026 at 28,359 miles resulted in a pass despite an advisory for a perishing nearside rear tyre. This follows a similar warning from April 2025, where the tester flagged both a nail and cracking/perishing on the same tyre. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use vehicle for its age, averaging approximately 7,100 miles per year. Between the April 2025 test at 22,582 miles and the April 2026 test at 28,359 miles, the car covered 5,777 miles. This steady accumulation suggests low stress on heavy-duty drivetrain and suspension components, though it also explains why rubber components like tyres may age and despite low tread depth. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of all four tyres to check for sidewall cracking or deformation beyond the nearside rear. The recurring nature of these faults indicates the vehicle may have sat for extended periods or been exposed to environmental factors that accelerate rubber degradation. Since the MOT history shows no structural or mechanical failures, the focus should remain on verifying that the perishing tyre has actually been replaced and not merely ignored.
