2018 Renault Captur 0.9L Petrol · LC68 FHJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history shows a worsening trend regarding deferred attention to consumables. While the most recent test in November 2025 at 29,975 miles passed, it revealed multiple advisories including pitted front brake discs and both front tyres reaching the legal limit. This follows a pattern seen in previous years where the owner appears to address faults only after they are flagged or failed by the tester, rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage is exceptionally low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,750 miles per year. There is a significant gap of over 4,600 miles between the December 2024 and November 2025 tests, suggesting the car is used for short local trips or sits stationary for extended periods. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, it often leads to the degradation of rubber components, as evidenced by the December 2024 advisory regarding perishing and de-lam on the nearside front tyre. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension and alignment geometry. The 2024 and 2025 records specifically highlight uneven scrubbing on the inner edges of the front tyres, which typically indicates incorrect camber, worn suspension bushes, or failing ball joints. The braking system also requires close scrutiny; the transition from thin pads in 2023 to pitted and scored discs in 2025 suggests the components have been allowed to run until they required immediate replacement.
