2016 Renault Captur 0.9L Petrol · LP16 AAU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent pass record over the last several years. The most recent test in June 2026 at 44,591 miles passed with only a minor advisory regarding a nearside front tyre showing signs of perishing. This follows a five-year streak of clean passes starting from the 2021 test, indicating that the vehicle has been maintained without significant mechanical or structural failures during this period. The mileage is notably low for a ten year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,459 miles per annum. Between April 2019 and November 2020, the car covered only 7,957 miles, suggesting periods of infrequent use or long storage. Since 2021, the annual accumulation has remained relatively steady, moving roughly 3,000 to 4,000 miles each year. This low usage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, though it increases the risk of degradation in rubber-based components due to age rather than distance. A buyer should specifically inspect the condition of the tyres, as the June 2026 advisory indicates the rubber is beginning to crack due to age rather than tread depth. Because the car sits for long periods, it is vital to check for seized brake calipers or degraded suspension bushes which can harden and perish when not regularly lubricated. The record shows no history of structural corrosion or exhaust failures, but a physical inspection of the underbody for surface rust remains necessary to ensure the low mileage has not masked hidden age-related decay.
