2017 Renault Captur 1.5L Diesel · KF66 AEN

The vehicle's current roadworthiness appears stable following the most recent test on 27 January 2026 at 128,042 miles, where it achieved a pass with no recorded defects. The MOT history shows a consistent pattern of failure followed by a pass within the same testing session over the last two years. This suggests that the vehicle undergoes necessary remedial work to meet minimum standards, as seen in the January 2025 and January 2026 tests, rather than suffering from progressive mechanical degradation or long-term neglect. The mileage accumulation is significant for a nine-year-old vehicle. Between the January 2024 test at 91,626 miles and the January 2025 test at 110,366 miles, the car covered 18,740 miles in a single year. The subsequent year saw an even higher increase of 17,676 miles to reach the 128,042 recorded in January 2026. This high annual average of approximately 14,227 miles indicates heavy usage, likely involving significant motorway or long-distance driving, which places higher stress on the drivetrain and suspension components compared to lower-mileage examples. Given the high mileage and the pattern of annual failures, a thorough physical inspection is required. Focus should be directed toward the suspension system, specifically checking for worn bushes, leaking dampers, or damaged coil springs, as these components often reach the end of their service life under high-mileage conditions. The buyer should also examine the brake discs and pads for uneven wear and check the underbody for signs of structural corrosion or exhaust degradation, which are common as vehicles age and accumulate higher mileage.
