2017 Renault Captur 1.5L Diesel · LC17 ACZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 13 March 2026 at 99,425 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record reveals a pattern of immediate failures followed by successful rectifications. In both 2025 and 2026, the car failed the initial test a few days before the scheduled appointment only to pass shortly after. This suggests that the owner addresses specific mechanical faults only when prompted by a test failure, rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance that would ensure a first-time pass. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a nine-year-old Renault Captur averaging approximately 11,000 miles per annum. Between March 2024 at 67,424 miles and March 2025 at 82,548 miles, the vehicle covered 15,124 miles, indicating slightly higher than average usage during that specific period. Another 16,877 miles were recorded in the following year interval. This steady usage pattern indicates the vehicle is driven regularly, which is generally beneficial for preventing components like brake seals and suspension from seizing due to long periods of standing. While the most recent certificate shows no defects, the recurring failures in March of consecutive years suggest that components are reaching their service limits. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and linkage, as these are common points of wear on this model at this mileage. Given the car is approaching the 100,000-mile mark, a close check for oil leaks around the drivetrain and the condition of the brake discs and calipers is necessary to ensure the recent clean MOT is not merely masking underlying mechanical degradation.
