2014 Renault Captur 1.5L Diesel · GL64 RZR

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass in April 2026, but the maintenance history reveals a concerning trend of reactive rather than proactive care. While the most recent test at 85,159 miles passed, the failure five days prior at 85,115 miles highlighted critical safety defects, including dangerously thin front brake pads and multiple structural tyre failures. This suggests the previous owner only addressed mechanical faults when forced by an MOT test failure, rather than performing routine servicing or preventative replacements. At 85,159 miles over 12 years, the Renault Captur has averaged approximately 7,100 miles per annum, which aligns with typical UK usage patterns for a small crossover. However, the mileage accumulation between tests is steady, with roughly 7,200 miles covered between April 2025 and April 2026, and another 7,700 miles between May 2024 and April 2025. The consistent appearance of tyre wear and brake issues indicates that while the car is used regularly, the neglect of basic consumable items remains a high risk. A buyer must physically inspect the front suspension and alignment, as the recurring reports of uneven tyre wear and edge-wearing across 2024, 2025, and 2026 suggest either worn bushes or an incorrect tracking geometry. The 2026 failure for corroded brake discs and thin pads indicates the braking system may be seizing or suffering from being left for long periods. Furthermore, the history of structural cuts and bulges in the tyres implies a lack of attention to basic safety, necessitating a thorough check of the current set for hidden damage or perished rubber.
