2013 Renault Captur 0.9L Petrol · MW13 NWY

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following a period of intermittent failures. The most recent test conducted on September 4, 2025 at 78,966 miles resulted in a clean pass, indicating that the owner successfully addressed previous mechanical concerns. While the history shows a pattern of failing in prior years, the transition to clean passes in the last two tests suggests the vehicle is currently being maintained to a standard that meets legal requirements. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical low-use usage for a thirteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per year. Between the September 2023 test at 63,992 miles and the August 2024 test at 72,877 miles, the car covered roughly 9,000 miles, followed by another 6,000 miles prior to the September 2025 inspection. This steady, moderate accumulation reduces the likelihood of excessive wear on drivetrain components but avoids the degradation often associated with long periods of stationary storage. A buyer should focus on the specific components that caused the failures in 2023 and 2024, as the provided summary does not detail the exact mechanical faults. Given the age of the Renault, a physical inspection of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake lines is necessary to ensure no corrosion-related wear is developing. The tester should also check the chassis for structural rust on the sills and mounting points, as these are common areas of concern for this model regardless of a clean MOT history.
