2017 Renault Captur 1.5L Diesel · LC17 AAY

The vehicle remains roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 22 May 2026 at 52 514 miles. The tester flagged multiple advisories: near‑side and off‑side rear tyres with slight cracking, front tyres showing cuts and perishing, and a front brake pad wearing thin. These items indicate a gradual deterioration of consumables rather than a sudden failure, suggesting the car has been used but not aggressively abused. Mileage accumulation shows a low average of roughly 5 800 miles per year over nine years, which is modest for a 2017 model. The jump from 45 209 miles in June 2025 to 52 514 miles in May 2026 represents about 7 300 miles in eleven months, a higher rate than the long‑term average. Earlier records reveal long gaps with no defects, notably the 2020 extension due to COVID‑19, and a clean test in October 2021 at 20 638 miles. The pattern points to periods of light use punctuated by a recent increase in mileage. A buyer should inspect the tyres thoroughly for cuts, sidewall damage, and tread depth, as several tests have recorded perishing and wear close to the legal limit. The front brake pads should be examined for thinness, and the discs checked for pitting or scoring; while not yet seriously weakened, their condition suggests they may need replacement soon. Also check the rear tyre for the recorded nail puncture and any corrosion on the wheel rim. Suspension bushes and shock absorbers are not highlighted in the history, but a visual check for uneven wear or excessive play would be prudent. Overall, the car is mechanically sound but will require attention to tyres and brakes before further use.
