2018 Renault Captur 0.9L Petrol · HG18 URE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend indicates a minor lapse in proactive upkeep. The most recent test on 6 February 2026 at 62,251 miles saw a failure due to a non-functional offside stop lamp and a nearside front tyre reaching the legal limit. While these issues were rectified immediately to secure a pass, the presence of these faults suggests the owner relies on the MOT test to identify defects rather than performing regular pre-test checks. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,800 miles per year. There is a clear progression of 5,100 miles recorded between June 2023 (39,291 miles) and June 2024 (44,387 miles), followed by another 17,864 miles over the subsequent twenty months leading to the February 2026 test. This indicates the car has seen steady, moderate use, which typically reduces accelerated wear on drivetrain components compared to high-mileage examples. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension and alignment, as the 2026 advisory for a nearside front tyre worn on the edge often points to tracking issues or worn suspension bushes. The 2023 advisory regarding perishing on the nearside rear tyre further suggests the vehicle may sit for extended periods, leading to rubber dry rot despite the low annual mileage. Given the lack of recorded structural corrosion or brake failures in the history, the focus should remain on the condition of the rubber components and the integrity of the lighting system.
