2022 Renault Captur SE Limited TCE 1.0L Petrol · FT71 CEJ

The 2022 Renault Captur SE Limited TCE presents a clean roadworthiness record as of its most recent MOT on 24 September 2025, where it passed with zero defects at 31,065 miles. The maintenance trend is stable, with no recurring faults, advisories, or failures across both recorded tests. This indicates consistent basic upkeep, though the limited dataset of only two entries restricts deeper pattern analysis. The vehicle has covered roughly 4,971 miles between the January 2025 test at 26,094 miles and the September 2025 test at 31,065 miles, averaging approximately 621 miles per month over that eight-month window. Annualised across its four-year lifespan, the total mileage of 31,065 miles equates to around 7,766 miles per year, which falls squarely within typical UK usage for a vehicle of this age. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden spikes in accumulation that would suggest long periods of disuse or unusually intensive recent driving. Despite the clean MOT record, a prospective buyer should still conduct a thorough physical inspection. The Captur's front suspension lower arm bushes and rear beam mounting points are known to wear prematurely on higher-mileage examples, and the turbocharged TCE engine demands scrutiny of the turbocharger housing, charge pipes, and intercooler connections for oil misting or boost leaks. Inspect the front brake discs and pads for uneven wear, and check the exhaust system, particularly the flexi-joint and catalytic converter mounting brackets, for early corrosion or exhaust gas leaks. Underbody rust protection, especially around the rear subframe and inner wheel arches, warrants close attention on a vehicle approaching four years old. Tyre condition and date codes should be verified, as original factory-fit rubber may be approaching replacement age even if tread depth remains legal.
