2017 Renault Captur 1.5L Diesel · EL64 BEL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in May 2026 with 43,154 miles and no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows signs of improvement following a period of neglect in early 2024. While the car previously failed due to braking and tyre issues, the subsequent clean passes over the last two years suggest that these specific mechanical faults were addressed and the vehicle is currently operating in a stable condition. At approximately nine years old, the recorded mileage of 43,154 miles is significantly low, averaging roughly 4,800 miles per year. This low usage suggests infrequent motorway driving, which typically reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain components. However, the gap between April 2023 and May 2024 shows an accumulation of over 6,000 miles in a year. Such low-mileage patterns can sometimes lead to age-related degradation of rubber components and fluid breakdown, which aligns with the tyre issues noted in the history. A buyer should specifically inspect the braking system and suspension geometry during a physical inspection. The failure in May 2024 highlighted a binding nearside rear service brake and a 24% imbalance across the rear axle. Although the car passed since, it is vital to ensure the calipers are not sticking and the handbrake mechanism operates correctly. The 2024 advisory regarding the offside rear tyre wearing on the inner edge indicates a potential alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that should be checked to prevent premature uneven wear on new tyres.
