2015 Renault Captur 0.9L Petrol · DP15 PDY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of neglected rubber components and consumable wear. The most recent test in January 2026 at 56,546 miles passed despite an advisory for a damaged offside rear tyre and general cracking or perishing on both rear tyres. This follows a pattern from January 2025 where the nearside front tyre was noted as reaching the legal limit and showing edge wear. While the car passes its inspections, the recurring tyre issues suggest a failure to replace rubber before they reach a critical state. The mileage profile is notably low for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,140 miles per year. Data shows a consistent progression between tests, moving from 34,809 miles in March 2022 to 56,546 miles in early 2026. This low usage often results in less mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain, but it explains the premature degradation of dry-related components such as tyres and brake seals, which age over time rather than just mileage when a vehicle sits stationary. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the braking system and suspension assembly. The 2023 record flagged pitted front brake discs and thin pads alongside a binding nearside rear service brake. While these were not mentioned in subsequent tests, the previous presence of a binding caliper suggests potential for future seizing due to low use. Given the repeated advisories for cracking tyres, the buyer should also check the sidewalls for deep fractures and inspect the condition of the suspension bushes, as these components suffer from the same environmental-related degradation as the tyres.
