2021 Renault Captur S Edition TCE 1.3L Petrol · LT21 VCM

This Renault Captur S Edition TCE has maintained a clean MOT history with no defects or advisories across its most recent three tests, all passing on the same date in September each year. The latest test on 2025-09-25 at 40,439 miles confirms the vehicle remains roadworthy without any immediate mechanical or structural concerns. There is no evidence of recurring failures or unresolved advisories, suggesting consistent compliance with UK roadworthiness standards during this period. However, the absence of defects does not preclude the need for a thorough independent inspection, particularly given the vehicle’s age and mileage. The recorded mileage progression of 8,088 miles annually—from 27,085 miles in September 2023 to 33,158 in 2024 and 40,439 in 2025—falls within typical usage patterns for a vehicle of this age. There are no abrupt jumps or prolonged periods of inactivity that might indicate neglect or extended storage. The regular annual mileage increments imply consistent driving habits, though this does not guarantee the absence of deferred maintenance or hidden wear. The lack of pre-MOT servicing records means potential issues like fluid leaks, suspension degradation, or brake wear could have gone unaddressed between tests. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an inspection of high-wear components that are not routinely checked during an MOT. Focus on the suspension system—particularly the condition of coil springs, bushes, and dampers—for signs of uneven wear or corrosion, as these are not tested for in depth during an MOT. The braking system warrants scrutiny, including the rear calipers and discs, as binding or uneven wear could have occurred without being flagged. Examine the underbody for corrosion around wheel arches, sills, and the subframe, as this is a common failure point for Renaults of this age. Finally, verify the integrity of the exhaust system, especially at joints and mounts, and check for leaks in the cooling, power steering, or transmission systems, as these are not covered by the MOT test.
