2020 Renault Captur Iconic TCE Auto 1.3L Petrol · FG20 PLU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the most recent MOT history indicates a shift toward reactive maintenance patterns. While the car passed its test in March 2026 at 63,050 miles, it had failed just two miles prior due to multiple critical safety-related defects. This suggests the previous owner neglected basic consumable upkeep until a formal failure forced repairs, marking a departure from the previously clean-sheet records seen between 2023 and 2025. The mileage progression remains consistent with a typical-use vehicle, averaging approximately 10,500 miles per year. Between the April 2023 test at 33,216 miles and the May 2025 test at 51,490 miles, the car covered over 18,000 miles with steady usage patterns. The recent jump of 11,560 miles between May 2025 and March 2026 shows a high rate of use, which explains the accelerated wear observed on the braking components and tyres in the latest failure. A buyer must conduct a close physical inspection of the braking system and tyres. The March 2026 failure flagged thin front pads and pitted or scored discs on both the offside and nearside, indicating the front braking assembly has reached the end of its functional life. Furthermore, the offside front tyre was below the legal 1.6mm limit and both rear tyres showed wear on the edges. This uneven rear wear often points to alignment issues or worn suspension bushes, which should be verified to prevent further premature degradation of new rubber.
