2018 Renault Captur 0.9L Petrol · MD18 RYO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 20 May 2026 at 34,068 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record indicates a shift toward reactive rather than proactive upkeep. While the 2024 test identified specific failures related to braking components and wipers, the subsequent tests showed no further defects, suggesting that the owner addressed the immediate mechanical issues following the initial failure. The mileage profile is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,258 miles per year. The data shows consistent annual usage, with roughly 5,000 miles driven between 2024 and 2025, and another 4,756 miles in the following year. This low mileage generally suggests less wear on the engine and drivetrain, but the low-distance driving pattern can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components or brake corrosion if the vehicle has sat stationary for extended periods between tests. A buyer should specifically inspect the tyres, as the May 2026 test flagged a cut on the nearside front and a nail in the offside rear. Although these met the legal depth threshold, they indicate a disregard for road debris that could lead to structural failure. Given the 2024 failure for thin front brake pads and worn discs, a physical inspection should verify that these components have been replaced with quality parts and are not showing premature wear now. Due to the age and low mileage, checking for surface rust on brake rotors and perished suspension bushes is also advisable to ensure the vehicle has not suffered from lack of use.
