2021 Renault Captur Iconic TCE Auto 1.3L Petrol · HT21 COU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a recent decline in mechanical oversight. While it passed its most recent test in April 2026 at 57,294 miles, it initially failed due to a misaligned headlamp aim and a worn nearside front MacPherson strut pin or bush. The presence of a constantly illuminated amber tyre pressure light suggests a sensor fault or persistent leak that the owner has neglected to rectify despite the vehicle passing the test. The recorded mileage of 57,294 miles over five years represents an average annual usage of approximately 11,460 miles, which aligns with typical UK national averages for a petrol car. There is a notable gap in data between March 2024 and May 2024, where the car covered only 690 miles in two months. However, the jump of nearly 10,000 miles between May 2025 and April 2026 indicates a return to regular use, which places expected strain on consumables and suspension components. A buyer must inspect the front suspension geometry specifically, as the nearside MacPherson strut was flagged for wear in the April 2026 test. Recurring issues with uneven tyre wear, specifically the inner front edges in March 2024 and the nearside rear edge in May 2025, indicate a history of alignment problems or worn suspension bushes. The physical inspection should verify that the headlamp has been properly adjusted and that the amber tyre light has been addressed rather than simply ignored.
