2014 Renault Captur 1.5L Diesel · HX64 VGV

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a consistent pass history, though recent records indicate a shift from clean tests to more frequent consumable advisories. The most recent test on 21 August 2025 at 81,286 miles shows a pass, though the tester flagged a nail in the nearside front tyre. This follows a 2024 inspection at 72,861 miles where the vehicle required attention to the front braking system, specifically worn brake discs and thinning pads on both the nearside and offside fronts. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 6,774 miles per year. The records show steady progress from 25,653 miles in September 2017 to the current 81,286 miles. There are no significant gaps in the testing intervals, suggesting the vehicle has been used regularly rather than sitting idle for long periods. The steady climb in mileage suggests predictable wear on mechanical components rather than sudden, heavy-duty usage. A buyer should focus on the braking system and tyre condition during a physical inspection. While the 2024 advisories regarding brake discs and pads suggest these components were nearing the end of their service life, a buyer must verify if they were actually replaced following that test. The history also shows a recurring trend of tyre issues, including cracking or perishing noted in August 2023 at 66,069 miles and various nails in recent years. This indicates that tyre maintenance and replacement may be reactive rather than proactive. The 2018 failure involving a split nearside outer CV boot at 33,635 miles indicates a previous repair to the drivetrain, so checking for any current grease leakage around the drive shafts is advisable. Beyond these consumable items, the vehicle maintained a clean record between 2020 and 2022, which implies the underlying structural integrity and suspension components have remained in good condition. Focus should remain on the front end, specifically the brakes and the condition of the rubber components to ensure no further perishing is occurring.
