2014 Renault Captur 1.5L Diesel · HK14 XEZ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean mechanical record following a single historical failure. The most recent inspection conducted on 1 May 2025 at 81,132 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum legal safety standards. This streak of three consecutive passes without any advisories suggests that the current ownership has been proactive in addressing potential issues before they reached the testing threshold. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use vehicle, averaging approximately 6,700 miles per year over its twelve-year life. Between June 2022 and May 2023, the vehicle covered only 2,312 miles, suggesting a period of significantly reduced use. However, usage increased in the subsequent year, with 10,140 miles recorded between the April 2024 and 2025 tests. This moderate annual mileage generally limits the wear on drivetrain components and suspension bushings, though low-mileage can sometimes lead to rubber degradation or fluid-related issues. While the history is largely positive, a buyer should perform a physical inspection of the components most susceptible to age-related wear. The failure on 21 June 2022 at 61,494 miles was rectified immediately with a pass the following day, indicating a specific fault that was quickly resolved. Given the vehicle's age, focus the physical check on structural corrosion on the chassis and the condition of the coil springs and shock absorbers. You should also inspect the brake system for binding calipers or thinning discs, as the MOT record does not detail the specific state of these consumable items unless they fail a test.
