2015 Renault Captur 1.5L Diesel · HV15 CKC

The Renault Captur holds a valid roadworthy status after the 6 June 2025 MOT pass at 79,587 miles, a test logged about thirteen months before the present date. Maintenance trend stays stable across the recorded history, with no defects flagged at any examination since 23 May 2023. The DVSA entries show failures on 30 May 2025 and 24 May 2024, each within days of a clean pass at near-identical mileage, yet the tester recorded no defects on those failed visits. Such a pattern points to administrative rejection rather than escalating mechanical decay. Mileage accumulation sits at typical levels for an eleven-year-old vehicle. The 23 May 2023 test recorded 69,444 miles. By 3 June 2024 the odometer read 74,664, equating to roughly 5,200 miles covered in that interval. The final pass on 6 June 2025 showed 79,587 miles, a further 4,923 added. Annual use has eased slightly year on year but remains consistent. The sparse five-entry record displays no prolonged gaps and indicates light private use rather than high-stress fleet operation. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and consumable components not surfaced by the MOT. At near 80,000 miles the suspension bushes, coil springs and brake discs warrant physical checks for fatigue or corrosion. Exhaust emissions and underbody rust protection should be assessed given the vehicle's age. The twin fail-with-no-defect entries merit scrutiny of the original DVSA certificates to confirm no omitted advisories. Previous owners maintained valid MOT coverage but the repeated fail-then-pass cycles hint at last-minute test bookings rather than neglected upkeep. The clean defect list implies basic consumables such as tyres and wiper blades were within tolerance at each examination. Prospective purchasers ought to verify service history to corroborate the low defect trend.
