2020 Renault Captur S Edition TCE Auto 1.3L Petrol · FV20 YDP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a clean pass on 18 June 2025 at 56,489 miles. The maintenance trend shows a period of reactive repair rather than proactive upkeep. The car failed exactly one day prior to its latest test due to worn suspension arm bushes on both the nearside and offside front, indicating that the owner addressed significant mechanical wear only when forced. Since those repairs, the record remains stable. The mileage pattern is consistent with a typical low-use urban vehicle, averaging approximately 9,400 miles per year. There is a notable gap of 18,599 miles between the July 2023 test at 15,391 miles and the June 2024 test at 33,990 miles. This period of higher usage correlates with the defects noted in June 2024, where the tester flagged thin front brake pads and de-tracking or uneven wear on the nearside front and rear tyres near the legal limit. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension in person to ensure the bushes replaced in June 2025 were fitted correctly and that no further play is present. Given the 2024 advisories regarding tyre wear and thin pads, the remaining brake life and disc condition should be checked for uneven thinning or glazing. The history suggests that components are replaced only upon failure, so a thorough check of all current consumables and rubber bushings is necessary before purchase.
