2021 Renault Captur S Edition TCE 1.0L Petrol · MJ21 AFF

The Renault Captur S Edition TCE presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 17 July 2025 at 25,190 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, following two earlier clean passes. Across all three MOT entries the vehicle has shown no advisories or failures, indicating consistent mechanical condition with no worsening faults emerging over the recorded period. The mileage pattern reflects light use for a five-year-old vehicle. From the 6 May 2024 test at 21,940 miles to the 16 January 2025 test at 24,972 miles, the car covered 3,032 miles in roughly eight months. By 17 July 2025 it had reached 25,190 miles, adding only 218 miles across six months. This equates to an average of around 5,038 miles per year and suggests extended standing periods, particularly in the latter half of the record. The MOT history is sparse but entirely clean, with no gaps beyond the standard annual cycle. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of consumable items prone to degradation from low mileage and prolonged inactivity. Flat-spotted tyres, perished rubber suspension bushes, and seized brake calipers are common on vehicles left standing, despite the absence of tester advisories. The DVSA record shows no structural corrosion, exhaust emissions failures, or drivetrain faults, yet a qualified mechanic should verify underbody condition and brake freedom given the recent low usage. Given the unbroken pass record and minimal wear profile, previous ownership appears to have prioritised basic statutory testing without neglect. The clean history offers reasonable assurance, but the 218-mile interval before the final test implies the car sat largely unused, so a pre-purchase check of battery health and fluid contamination remains prudent.
