2018 Renault Captur 0.9L Petrol · EK18 LTY

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 17 January 2026 at approximately 62,604 miles, with no advisories or defects recorded. Five consecutive passes spanning the 2021 to 2026 test cycle demonstrate a stable roadworthiness trend under the MOT inspection regime, with no failures, refusals, or recurring advisories appearing in the supplied DVSA record. The clean nature of the most recent test, combined with the absence of flagged wear items, indicates that no immediate component deterioration was identified at that point. Annual mileage averages around 7,800 miles based on the recorded odometer reading of 62,604 miles over the eight-year vehicle age. Mileage progression between tests is broadly consistent, with the gap from the December 2024 test to the January 2026 pass showing only modest accumulation, indicating either a period of lighter use or short journeys. No anomalies such as mileage gaps or implausibly rapid increases are evident from the data provided. Because the MOT record contains no recorded defects or advisories, no specific component has been flagged for closer inspection by a buyer. That said, an in-person assessment should still cover items commonly associated with higher-mileage compact SUVs of this age, including front suspension components such as wishbones, coil springs, and anti-roll bar links, as well as rear brake caliper operation to check for binding. A thorough inspection of brake disc wear, tyre tread depth and sidewall condition, underbody corrosion particularly around suspension mounting points, exhaust integrity, and the operation of the clutch and gearbox is advisable. Given the absence of any recorded mechanical or structural concerns in the MOT history, a buyer should focus their pre-purchase inspection on establishing the present physical condition of these consumable and chassis components rather than addressing known flagged defects. ed_score: 58 ed_risk: "Medium" editorial_insight: "The MOT history shows five consecutive passes with no advisories, but the record alone cannot confirm overall mechanical health. Annual mileage is typical, and the lack of flagged wear items suggests no immediate MOT-related concerns, though a pre-purchase inspection of suspension, brakes, and corrosion remains essential given the vehicle's age and mileage.
