2018 Renault Captur 0.9L Petrol · LD68 AOX

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT test in November 2025 at 17,284 miles. While the mechanical history appears stable across previous tests, a clear trend of material degradation in rubber components has emerged recently. The transition from clean records in 2023 to recurring advisories regarding tyre perishing indicates that the vehicle is suffering from age-related wear rather than mechanical failure. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,160 miles per year. Between November 2021 and November 2025, the car covered only 11,250 miles, suggesting periods of infrequent use or long-term storage. This low usage typically minimizes wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, though the presence of an engine service light during the November 2024 test at 11,615 miles suggests a potential electronic fault or sensor issue that was left un despite the low mileage. A buyer must inspect the offside front tyre specifically, as the tester flagged heavy cracking and perishing in both 2024 and 2025. This type of failure is typical of low-mileage vehicles where rubber dries out due to age rather than tread wear. Beyond the tyres, verify the cause of the service light noted in 2024 to ensure it does not mask a deeper engine or emissions management issue. Given the low mileage, a physical check for brake disc corrosion and seized calipers is essential, as these often corrode when a vehicle sits for long periods.
