2011 Chevrolet Captiva 2.2L Diesel · JH07 ENG

The vehicle currently presents a roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend in its recent history. The most recent test conducted in November 2025 at 60,089 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating that previous mechanical and safety concerns have been addressed. This follows a period of clean tests between 2022 and 2025, suggesting the vehicle has been well-maintained following earlier failures. The mileage profile is notably low for a 15-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,000 miles per year. There is a significant gap in records between July 2019 at 31,897 miles and March 2021 at 42,067 miles, where the vehicle covered only 10,000 miles over two years. While the low annual mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, the intermittent usage often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components and seals due to age and long periods of standing. A buyer should pay close attention to the suspension system, as the history shows recurring issues including front shock absorber oil misting in 2016 and 2017, and a fractured offside rear coil spring in 2019. Although these appear resolved, the low mileage increases the likelihood that suspension bushings and rubber components have perished or become brittle. The frequent mentions of uneven tyre wear on the edges between 2015 and 2023 suggest potential persistent alignment issues or worn steering components that require a physical inspection to ensure the geometry is not out of spec.
