2018 Renault Captur 1.5L Diesel · DU68 ADV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, with no defects recorded in its most recent MOT on 2025-09-29 at 49,769 miles. The maintenance trend shows stability over the past three years, as all subsequent tests from 2023 to 2025 passed without issues. The 2024-09-25 test, which appears to have both a failed and passed entry for the same mileage, lacks defect details, but the absence of recurring faults in later assessments suggests no critical mechanical deterioration. Mileage progression aligns with typical usage, averaging 6,221 miles annually over eight years. A notable jump from 29,146 miles in 2023 to 40,232 miles by 2024-09-25 indicates accelerated use over 11,000 miles in 12 months, which could strain consumables like tyres and brake pads. The 2022-09-23 test at 25,591 miles showed no concerns, confirming consistent adherence to MOT standards. However, the sparse data from 2024-09-25 raises questions about the validity of the failed entry, which recorded no defects. A buyer should inspect the suspension for worn bushes or coil springs, as sudden mileage increases may accelerate wear. Brake components, including discs and calipers, should be checked for uneven wear or corrosion, particularly if the vehicle was driven in harsh conditions. The exhaust system and underbody corrosion are also critical, given the lack of detailed fault records. While the MOT history reflects no major issues, the ambiguity around the 2024 test underscores the need for a physical inspection to confirm the vehicle’s mechanical integrity.
