2015 Renault Captur 1.5L Diesel · LC02 AAC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a recent decline in basic consumable upkeep. While the most recent test in October 2025 at 78,738 miles passed, the car initially failed due to a malfunctioning tyre pressure monitoring system, non-conforming registration plates, and tyre defects. The presence of a nail in the offside rear and uneven wear on the offside front tyre indicates a lack of proactive vehicle inspections prior to the annual testing deadline. At 78,738 miles, the vehicle has averaged approximately 7,158 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage for a small SUV of this age. The mileage shows consistent annual growth, with roughly 8,400 miles covered between October 2023 and 2024, and another 8,281 miles between October 2024 and 2025. This steady usage pattern suggests the car has not sat for long periods, though the low annual mileage does not exempt it from standard mechanical wear. A buyer must personally inspect the front alignment and suspension geometry. The recurring reports of tyres wearing on edges and bald inner edges in both 2024 and 2025 strongly suggest a persistent issue with worn suspension bushes or incorrect tracking that has not been properly addressed. You should also verify the tyre pressure monitoring system is now functional, as this was a recent point of failure. The persistent service light noted across the last two pass and failure records suggests the owner ignores dashboard warnings, necessitating a thorough mechanical check of the engine condition and fluid levels.
