2017 Renault Captur 1.5L Diesel · FX17 YCK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in February 2026 at 36,670 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable despite a minor failure recorded just one day prior. That failure on 3 February 2026, was limited to consumable items, specifically an ineffective front windscreen wiper and perished rubber on both rear tyres. The fact that these were rectified immediately suggests the current owner is responsive to safety-related requirements once they are identified. The mileage profile is notably low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,074 miles per year. There is a significant gap in usage between February 2023 at 30,879 miles and January 2025 at 35,872 miles, where the car covered only 4,993 miles in two years. This low-frequency use preserves mechanical components but often leads to the degradation of rubber components, as evidenced by the cracking and perishing noted in the 2026 test. A buyer should focus inspection on the braking system, as the record shows a recurring pattern of thinning brake discs. The tester flagged worn front discs in both 2023 and 2025, with the inner surfaces specifically noted in early 2025. While these were not considered excessively worn at the time, the frequency suggests the discs may be suffering from corrosion due to low-use cycles. Given the low mileage, a physical check of the brake lines for corrosion and the caliper movement is essential to ensure the system has not seized during long periods of inactivity.
