2018 Peugeot Horizon 1.6L Diesel · JJ05 JAM

This 2019 Renault Captur presents a strong and improving roadworthiness profile, culminating in a completely clean MOT pass on 7 February 2026 at 32,753 miles with zero defects recorded. The maintenance trend is demonstrably stable and resolving. A cluster of minor advisories and punctures recorded in the November 2023 test at 23,967 miles, including a nail in the nearside front tyre and both front tyres worn to the legal limit, has been fully addressed. The subsequent three consecutive annual tests, each passing without a single defect, indicate that the front tyres were replaced and the TPMS system was successfully reset or repaired. This pattern suggests a responsible owner who acted promptly on the flagged items rather than ignoring them. The vehicle's mileage accumulation is notably low, averaging approximately 4,679 miles per year over its seven-year life. The record shows a steady and consistent climb from 22,438 miles in December 2022 to 32,753 miles in February 2026, with no anomalous gaps or sudden jumps that would indicate long periods of disuse or a rolled-back odometer. This gentle, regular usage is a significant positive, as it implies reduced wear on drivetrain components, suspension bushes, and brake systems compared to a higher-mileage equivalent. The low annual mileage also makes the November 2023 tyre wear advisories more noteworthy, suggesting the tyres may have aged or worn unevenly despite the low mileage, possibly due to alignment issues or prolonged static storage. Despite the clean recent history, a prospective buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection. The recurring focus on the nearside front tyre in the 2023 record warrants a close examination of the wheel alignment and suspension geometry, specifically the tracking and condition of the front suspension bushes and ball joints, to prevent premature wear from recurring. The vehicle's underbody and structural components, particularly around the subframes and suspension mounting points, should be inspected for corrosion, a common issue on Captur models that can lead to costly failures in later life. Given the low mileage, check for signs of moisture ingress or seized components that can occur from infrequent use, such as binding rear brake calipers or sticking handbrake mechanisms. A test drive over varied surfaces is essential to confirm the suspension remains quiet and the drivetrain free from vibration, validating the paper record.
