2015 Renault Captur 1.5L Diesel · DL64 AEJ

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy condition, showing a stable maintenance trend over the last three years. The most recent test conducted in December 2025 at 96,795 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects. This follows a failure just five days prior in November 2025 at 96,743 miles, though the lack of recorded defects on that failure suggests a potential administrative error or a minor presentation issue that was immediately rectified rather than a systemic mechanical failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,800 miles per year. Between November 2022 and November 2024, the car covered 15,295 miles, maintaining a steady annual rate of roughly 7,600 miles. The jump of 5,172 miles between the November 2024 and 2025 tests indicates a slight increase in usage, but the vehicle avoids the long periods of stagnation that lead to rubber degradation or fluid breakdown. Given the clean history of MOT advisories, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on components subject to age-related degradation rather than recurring faults. At nearly 100,000 miles, the suspension bushes and coil springs should be checked for wear or tearing, as these often fatigue around this interval. The brakes should be inspected for uneven pad wear or thin discs, although the record does not flag any binding calipers previously. Checking the structural integrity of the rear subframe is also advisable to ensure no hidden corrosion has developed since the last clean pass.
