2015 Renault Captur 1.2L Petrol · GC15 OLR

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive rather than proactive care. While it passed the latest test in July 2025 at 41,661 miles, it carried forward a previously noted nearside rear road wheel and a damaged windscreen. These defects were also present during the 2024 test at 38,954 miles, showing that the owner opted not to rectify these minor faults despite them being flagged for multiple years. At 11 years old, the recorded mileage of 41,661 miles is significantly low, averaging approximately 3,787 miles per year. This low usage often suggests short-distance trips which can lead to accelerated degradation of rubber-based components. The data shows a consistent usage pattern with roughly 2,700 to 3,000 miles covered annually between 2021 and 2025. However, the low annual mileage does not exempt the vehicle from the wear issues seen on tyres and brake components observed in the mid-period tests. A buyer must physically inspect the braking and suspension system due to recurring issues noted in the 2022 and 2023 records. The tester flagged thin front inner brake pads and low brake fluid levels during those inspections, suggesting a neglect of basic fluid maintenance. Furthermore, the repeated reports of cracking or perishing tyres on the offside front and nearside rear indicate that the vehicle has likely sat for long periods, causing the rubber to dry out despite low mileage. The distorted road wheels on the nearside front and nearside rear should also be checked for vibrations or potential damage to the hubs and bearings.
