2007 Chevrolet Captiva 2.0L Diesel · KA07 UUY

The most recent MOT history, dated March 10th, 2026, shows a pass but highlights immediate concerns. The primary risk pattern involves suspension components and tyre wear. The most recent inspection noted slight play in the offside front track rod end ball joint and indicated that the front tyres are worn close to the legal limit and on the edge on both sides. The trend in the MOT history is not clearly improving; the most recent inspection flagged specific wear items, indicating ongoing component wear. The mileage of 89,472 miles for a vehicle that is approximately 19 years old suggests a relatively low annual mileage, around 4,709 miles per year. This level of mileage could imply lighter overall use or extended periods where the vehicle has been stationary. A buyer must immediately inspect the front suspension components, specifically the offside front track rod end ball joint, for excessive play. Secondly, the condition of the front tyres needs close scrutiny to ensure they are not near the legal wear limit. Finally, given the history, the buyer should thoroughly check the engine management system, as the history shows instances where the Engine MIL was inoperative or indicated a malfunction. In person, the buyer should inspect the front suspension, check the condition and tread depth of all four tyres, and look for any signs of fluid leaks around the engine area.
