2016 Renault Captur 1.5L Diesel · MA66 XHP

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a clear shift toward reactive rather than proactive care. The latest test in September 2025 at 61,956 miles passed, yet flagged all four tyres as being worn to the legal limit or showing signs of perishing. This represents a regression from the clean record in 2023, suggesting that the current owner is delaying routine consumable replacements until they reach an MOT failure point. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use urban vehicle, averaging approximately 6,200 miles per year. The data shows a steady progression from 30,904 miles in October 2021 to 61,956 miles in September 2025. While the low mileage generally reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine, the recurring issues with tyre cracking and perishing in 2022 and 2025 indicate the car may sit for long periods or be driven without sufficient distance to prevent the degradation of the rubber components. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the braking system, as the history notes thin front pads in 2022, rear brake squeal, and low brake fluid levels in 2024. These indicators suggest potential sticking calipers or a slow fluid leak that has not been fully addressed. Given the repeated advisories regarding uneven tyre wear and damage, the buyer should also check for alignment issues or worn suspension bushes that might be causing the premature scrubbing of the tyres.
