2020 Renault Captur S Edition TCE Auto 1.3L Petrol · DX70 SLU

The vehicle presents a clean roadworthiness profile following its most recent test on 24 July 2026 at 33,909 miles, which passed with no defects recorded. This indicates an improving maintenance trend compared to previous years. While earlier inspections flagged several consumable issues, the absence of advisories in the latest MOT suggests that the owner has addressed previous maintenance requirements and brought the vehicle up to a standard where no immediate mechanical or safety concerns were identified by the tester. The mileage pattern shows consistent, low-intensity usage, averaging approximately 5,650 miles per year. The vehicle covered 6,985 miles by August 2023, 13,034 miles by August 2024, 23,670 miles by July 2025, and reached 33,909 miles in July 2026. This steady accumulation of mileage is typical for a vehicle used for short local trips or as a secondary car. The low annual mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components due to lack of movement. The historical data reveals a recurring pattern of tyre degradation and minor suspension wear. In August 2023, the tester flagged cracking and perishing on all four tyres, a condition that persisted into the July 2025 test where both front and rear tyres were noted as damaged or perishing, alongside both front tyres being worn close to the legal limit. The August 2024 test also identified a worn nearside front suspension arm bush. These issues point to a history of neglecting tyre replacement and minor suspension upkeep, likely due to the vehicle's low usage. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the condition of the tyres and the integrity of the suspension system. Although the 2026 test was clear, the history of perishing rubber suggests that the tyres may have aged significantly despite low tread depth. Checking the suspension bushes and checking for any signs of uneven tyre wear will confirm if the issues flagged in 2024 and 2025 have been fully resolved or if the vehicle requires further attention to its running gear.
