2015 Renault Captur 0.9L Petrol · MX65 VBD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its latest MOT on 2026-01-02 at 73,851 miles. The most recent test identified only a minor issue with the front inner brake disc, which was deemed not seriously weakened under regulation 1.1.14(a)(ii). This represents a continuation of previously noted brake wear, with no indication of deterioration in the braking system's core functionality. The absence of any major failures or advisories in the latest test suggests the vehicle remains mechanically sound for road use. The mileage pattern reflects consistent annual usage averaging approximately 6,714 miles over the vehicle’s 11-year lifespan, aligning with typical usage for a 2015 model. There are no significant gaps or sudden spikes in mileage, indicating regular ownership and use. The MOT history shows tests conducted annually, with the most recent being just five months prior to the current date, suggesting proactive maintenance practices. The consistency of testing intervals supports a reliable maintenance schedule. Recurring issues include front inner brake disc wear, which has been present since 2023 and continues to be flagged. Suspension-related concerns involve anti-roll bar linkage ball joints showing slight play, first noted in 2023 and persisting through 2024. These conditions indicate potential long-term wear in the suspension system. Tyre wear has also been a persistent issue, particularly on the offside front and nearside front tyres, with multiple instances of tread nearing legal limits. Buyers should inspect the brake discs, suspension bushings, and tyre condition in person before purchase. Structural integrity appears unaffected based on the MOT record, with no evidence of corrosion or frame damage. However, the repeated advisory on brake disc condition warrants attention during a pre-purchase inspection. Suspension components, especially the anti-roll bar linkages, should be examined for play or excessive movement. Tyre tread depth and sidewall condition require verification, particularly given the history of wear on multiple positions. The vehicle’s mechanical systems remain functional, but regular monitoring of these components is advised.
