2016 Renault Captur 0.9L Petrol · FP66 XDF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than proactive upkeep. While the latest test in October 2025 at 45,422 miles passed, the tester flagged pitted front brake discs and a perished offside rear tyre. This follows a 2024 failure where two front tyres were worn to the legal limit, suggesting that components are being run until age-related rubber degradation is manifesting despite the low annual mileage. At 45,422 miles over ten years, this Captur reflects significantly low usage, averaging approximately 4,500 miles per year. The mileage pattern appears consistent, with a 7,700-mile gap between October 2023 and 2024, and another 7,700 miles between 2024 and 2025. However, low mileage often leads to dry rot in rubber components, which is evidenced by the cracking and perishing of the rear tyre recorded in the most recent advisory. A buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the braking system, as the pitting on the discs noted in the 2025 test indicates the vehicle may have sat for extended periods or lacks frequent use to clear surface corrosion. Check all four tyres for sidewall cracking and uneven wear patterns, as the history shows a tendency to neglect tyre replacement until they reach a failure point. Additionally, verify the suspension bushings and rubber mounts for cracking, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from components that perish over time regardless of distance driven.
