AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The 2016 Renault Captur has a recorded mileage of 130,254 miles, averaging 13,025 miles annually over its 10-year lifespan. This is significantly higher than typical usage, suggesting frequent or heavy use, which may accelerate wear on components like brakes, suspension, and drivetrain parts. However, the MOT history shows no recorded defects in any of the tests, though there are multiple “failed tests” in 2025 and 2023. The most recent MOT on 2025-08-05 recorded a pass , but a failed test occurred just one day earlier at the same mileage. This inconsistency could indicate procedural errors, minor non-defect issues, or a borderline failure that was later resolved. Earlier entries in 2024 and 2023 show passes and fails at similar mileages, with no defects noted. The pattern suggests recurring technical challenges, but the absence of recorded defects implies these may not be critical safety risks. The trend in MOT outcomes is unclear. While there are multiple failed tests , the lack of defects means the vehicle has not been deemed unsafe. However, the frequency of failures—particularly in 2023 and 2025—may signal underlying issues requiring closer inspection.
