2015 Renault Captur 0.9L Petrol · M5 GGE

The vehicle's overall roadworthiness status is currently failing, as evidenced by the two distinct MOT failures recorded on the 18th of 2026. The most recent test on October 3rd, 2025, resulted in a failure of the rear reversing lamp and registration plate, indicating a critical safety hazard that has not been corrected since that date. This recent breach of the roadworthiness standard creates an immediate risk of an unauthorised drive, and the vehicle must be brought to a MOT within the next 14 days to restore its legal status. Regarding the mileage pattern, the vehicle demonstrates a rapid accumulation of recorded miles over its 11-year lifespan, reaching 68,560 miles by the time the 2026 test occurred. This pace suggests that the owner has maintained the car with a high frequency of use, which is consistent with typical usage for a 2015 model. The consistent mileage trajectory without significant gaps between the October 2025 and September 2023 tests indicates that the car has been driven in a standard manner without major wear on critical components, though the rapid accumulation of mileage itself does not guarantee that the mechanical risks associated with the 2026 MOT results are absent. Given the recurring faults, particularly the binding brake issues and the failure of the rear reversing lamp, the vehicle requires urgent mechanical inspection and repair. A buyer should inspect the binding calipers, brake discs, and brake pads to verify that the brake system is not in a compromised state, as this is the most likely cause of the current MOT failure. Additionally, the need for a complete overhaul of the suspension bushings and springs, and the replacement of worn front and rear tyres, must be addressed to prevent further deterioration of the drivetrain and suspension integrity. The vehicle is not currently roadworthy and requires immediate professional assessment to ensure safety and compliance with UK traffic regulations.
