2021 Renault Captur S Edition E-Tech Phev A 1.6L Hybrid electric · FG21 UHO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows signs of reactive rather than proactive care. While the most recent test on 15 May 2026 at 51,349 miles resulted in a pass, the tester flagged both nearside and offside front tyres as worn close to the legal limit with edge wear. This indicates that the owner deferred tyre replacement until they reached a critical state, rather than replacing them during scheduled maintenance. The mileage pattern is consistent with a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,200 miles per year. Data shows a significant increase in usage between August 2023 (19,190 miles) and June 2025 (42,502 miles), where the car covered over 23,000 miles in under two years. The rate of accumulation slowed to roughly 8,600 miles in the final year. This spike in mileage suggests a period of intensive use which typically places higher stress on the hybrid drivetrain and suspension components. A buyer must pay close attention to the front suspension geometry following the failure recorded on 5 June 2025 at 42,502 miles. The tester identified excessively worn suspension arm pins and bushes on both front sides. While these were repaired to pass the test, the subsequent edge wear noted on the tyres in 2026 suggests the alignment may not been performed correctly or the components are failing prematurely. A physical inspection for play in the steering and uneven tyre wear is essential to ensure the previous repairs were effective.
