2018 Renault Captur 0.9L Petrol · LD18 FFW

The 2026‑06‑30 MOT at 49,698 miles recorded a pass with no defects, confirming that the vehicle is presently roadworthy. The preceding 2026‑06‑29 test, also at 49,698 miles, listed near‑side and off‑side front tyres worn on the edge (5.2.3 e), thin front brake pads (1.1.13 (a)(ii)), a pitted front disc (1.1.14 (a)(ii)) and a low headlamp aim (4.1.2 (a)), indicating that the owner remedied these issues before the successful retest, showing an improving maintenance trend. The mileage has climbed from 19,311 miles in March 2021 to 49,698 miles in June 2026, an average of roughly 6,200 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for an eight‑year‑old vehicle. No large gaps in service are evident; each annual increment is modest and consistent, reflecting regular use rather than extended periods of standing. Recurring faults focus on the tyres and braking system: the 2026‑06‑29 report flagged tyre wear on the edges and perishing rear tyres (5.2.3 d (ii)), suggesting possible suspension or alignment wear; front brake pads were thin and the disc showed pitting, while the headlamp aim was low, all pointing to components that merit close inspection. The undertray fitted in March 2021 raises the possibility of under‑body corrosion, though no rust was recorded in later tests. A buyer should therefore examine suspension bushes and coil springs for binding or wear, test brake calipers for sticking, verify disc condition and pad thickness, assess tyre tread depth and side wear patterns, confirm correct wheel alignment, and inspect the wheel arches and undertray for structural rust. The recent pass indicates that remedial work has been carried out, but a thorough visual and functional check remains essential.
