2013 Renault Captur 1.5L Diesel · HN63 EPL

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on June 4, 2025 at 99,604 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable as the car has consistently achieved passes following initial re-test failures. While the record shows a pattern of failing in both 2024 and 2025, the lack of recorded defects on the successful pass certificates suggests that any minor mechanical or equipment issues were rectified immediately prior to the re-tests. The mileage progression is consistent with a 13-year-old vehicle averaging approximately 7,662 miles per annum. Between the June 2023 test at 89,512 miles and the May 2024 test at 96,466 miles, the car covered 6,954 miles in a year. A further 3,138 miles were recorded in the year leading up to the June 2025 test. This steady, regular usage pattern is generally beneficial for seals and mechanical components as it prevents the rubber degradation and corrosion often associated with long periods of standing. A buyer should investigate the specific reasons that caused the failures in 2024 and 2025, as the provided data does not list the specific defects. Given the age and mileage, a physical inspection should focus on the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, which are common points of wear on the Captur. One should also check for corrosion on the brake lines and the integrity of the exhaust system to ensure no hidden structural rust is developing as the vehicle approaches the six-figure mile mark.
