2016 Renault Captur 0.9L Petrol · LF66 CZA

The vehicle presents a technically roadworthy status but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive approach rather than preventative care. While the most recent test in November 2025 at 125,549 miles resulted in a pass, the vehicle failed immediately prior due to critical tyre defs and a failing nearside rear wheel bearing. The recurring nature of failing for basic consumables like tyres and minor suspension wear suggests that components are often only addressed once they reach the point of legal failure or mechanical breakdown. At 125,549 miles over ten years, this Renault Captur has high mileage, averaging approximately 12,500 miles per year. The data shows a significant surge of 22,000 miles covered between November 2023 and November 2024, and another 22,000 miles covered in the year following that. This high annual mileage puts considerable strain on the suspension and braking systems, which is reflected in the frequent advisories regarding worn tyre edges and degrading rubber components throughout the record. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the suspension geometry, as the history flags multiple issues including a worn anti-roll bar ball joint, a twisted upper coil spring rubber, and a nearside rear wheel bearing. The nearside rear brake pipe was noted as damaged in 2024, requiring a close check for corrosion or physical deformation that could lead to fluid loss. Furthermore, the consistent reports of heavy inner edge wear on multiple tyres across years suggests a persistent alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that may continue to consume tyres prematurely. The mechanical state of the rear wheel bearing remains a point of concern, as the slight play noted in late 2025 indicates the component is nearing the end of its service life. Additionally, the nearside front wing being described as taped in 2024 should be inspected for underlying structural damage or impact deformation that the tape masks. Given the high mileage and the history of minor mechanical failures, a professional inspection of the drivetrain and chassis integrity is advised to ensure no deeper-seated issues exist beyond the recorded advisories.
