2015 Renault Captur 0.9L Petrol · LF65 PCX

The most recent MOT from January 2026 was a pass, though it noted a front tyre worn close to the legal limit and a discoloured indicator. While the vehicle is currently compliant, these defects suggest that maintenance of consumables is an ongoing requirement for this car. The mechanical history shows a pattern of wear on essential components. A significant failure in early 2024 highlighted issues with front brake discs, pads, and a nearside front shock absorber with negligible damping, alongside low coolant and brake fluid levels. Although the vehicle has passed since then, the recurring mention of tyre wear in both late 2024 and early 2026 indicates that tyres and potentially suspension components are areas of regular concern. The trend appears relatively stable following the major repairs in 2024, but the recurring tyre issues suggest maintenance is reactive rather than proactive. The mileage of 74,431 miles is typical for an 11-year-old vehicle, averaging about 6,766 miles per year. This level of usage is consistent with the wear patterns seen in the MOT history, suggesting the car has been used for standard, regular journeys rather than being heavily driven or left sitting for long periods. When inspecting the vehicle, you should first check the condition and tread depth of all tyres. Given the previous failure, it is also vital to inspect the front brake discs and pads for wear and to check the suspension for any signs of uneven damping or movement.
