2008 Chevrolet Captiva 2.0L Diesel · KA57 NRF

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, showing a clean record across the most recent inspections. The latest MOT test conducted on 11 July 2025 at 112,623 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum legal safety standards. This follows a period of clean passes since 2022, suggesting that the current owner is maintaining the mechanical requirements effectively. The mileage pattern is consistent with an 18-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,250 miles per year over its life-span. However, there is a significant seven-year data gap in the records between March 2015 and July 2022, during which the vehicle covered roughly 18,400 miles. Since 2022, usage has increased, with over 13,000 miles recorded in the last three years. This shift in usage suggests more frequent driving, which typically accelerates the degradation of rubber components and bushings. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and braking systems, as the 2015 test at 80,853 miles flaggeding on both front shock absorbers and thin brake pads. While these issues appear to have been addressed, the age of the vehicle makes the shock absorbers prone to further leaks and the bushings to perished. Given the vehicle's age, a thorough check for structural corrosion on the chassis and sills is also essential, as these are common failure points for this model that are not captured in a clean MOT history.
