2015 Renault Captur 1.5L Diesel · DP15 PDO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward suspension wear-related issues. The most recent test in November 2025 at 91,885 miles passed with an advisory for a worn nearside front suspension arm pin or bush. This represents a progression from the clean record in late 2024, suggesting that rubber suspension components are beginning to reach the end of their operational life as the vehicle ages and accumulates. The mileage pattern remains consistent with an eleven-year-old Renault Capture, averaging approximately 8,300 miles per year. Between December 2022 and November 2025, the car covered 24,735 miles, indicating a steady and predictable usage pattern. The five-month gap between the December 2022 failure and the subsequent December 2022 pass suggests the owner was proactive in addressing necessary mechanical repairs once identified, as the mileage had only increased by 35 miles since the initial failure. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front-end suspension and drivetrain. The 2022 failure identified a split offside front CV boot, a worn offside front ball joint, and play in the nearside anti-roll bar linkage. While these were reportedly rectified, the 2025 advisory for the nearside front suspension arm bush indicates that the suspension geometry is now showing degradation. It is vital to check for grease leakage around the CV boots and to test for excessive play in all ball joints and bushings to ensure the wear is not systemic across the entire axle.
