2018 Renault Captur 1.2L Petrol · FG18 AEV

The vehicle presents a consistently stable maintenance profile with no recorded failures or advisories across the entire MOT history. The most recent test on 16 April 2025 at 24,836 miles returned a clean pass with no defects noted. This indicates that the vehicle has met all statutory requirements for structural integrity, lighting, and braking efficiency throughout its recorded service life. The mileage accumulation is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,104 miles per year. The data shows a steady, gradual increase in distance covered, moving from 13,602 miles in April 2021 to 24,836 miles in April 2025. This pattern suggests light, intermittent use rather than high-frequency commuting or heavy-duty driving. Such low annual mileage can be beneficial for drivetrain longevity, though it carries the risk of components such as seals and suspension bushings drying out due to lack of regular movement. Because the MOT record is entirely free of advisories regarding consumables, a physical inspection should focus on items not captured by the DVSA testing regime. Given the low mileage, check for signs of age-related degradation on rubber components, specifically the tyre sidewalls for cracking and the suspension bushings for perishing. You should also verify that the service history matches the low mileage to ensure the engine oil and fluids have been changed at regular intervals, as long periods of standing can lead to moisture buildup in the lubrication system.
