2017 Renault Captur 0.9L Petrol · MF67 WPD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history indicates a worsening trend regarding reactive rather than proactive care. While the car passed the September 2025 test at 51,656 miles, it carried advisories for significant tyre wear on both front tyres and the offside rear. This mirrors the findings from the 2024 test at 42,492 miles, suggesting that the owner consistently ignores tyre condition until the components approach legal limits. At nine years old, the recorded mileage of 51,656 miles represents a low average of approximately 5,740 miles per year. This low usage often correlates with less mechanical strain on the drivetrain, yet the data shows specific gaps in consistent upkeep. Between September 2022 and September 2023, the vehicle covered only 7,528 miles, yet it failed its MOT during that period due to thin front brake pads and perished tyres. This indicates that the low mileage may be contributing to rubber degradation and components sitting stationary for long periods between service intervals. A buyer must inspect the wheel alignment and suspension geometry, as the recurring reports of tyres worn on the edges across 2024 and 2025 strongly suggest a tracking issue or worn suspension bushes. The 2023 failure for front brake pads under 1.5mm thick confirms that braking components are only replaced when failure is imminent. Physical inspection should also check for sidewall cracking on all remaining tyres, as the 2023 record already flagged perishing rubber on the rear despite the low annual mileage.
