2015 Renault Captur 1.5L Diesel · ND15 GGX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than proactive upkeep. While the recent test in May 2025 at 73,084 miles resulted in a pass, it revealed multiple failures regarding tyre condition and an obstructed belt inspection. This follows a period in mid-2024 where the car failed due to suspension wear and lighting-related issues, indicating that components are often only addressed once they reach a point of legal failure. At 73,084 miles, the Renault Captur averages approximately 6,600 miles per year, which aligns with typical low-use patterns for an eleven-old vehicle. The mileage accumulation appears steady, with roughly 7,000 miles covered between January 2023 and June 2024, and another 5,500 miles over the following year. This consistent usage suggests the vehicle has not been neglected, though the recurring wear on rubber components points to potentially harsh driving conditions or a lack of routine preventative checks between annual tests. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension assembly, as the offside front anti-roll bar linkage was flagged for play in 2023 and failed for excessive wear in 2024. You must also verify the state of the suspension bushes to ensure no further lateral play has developed. Given that the 2025 test identified four tyres with varying degrees of wear and perishing, a full set of tyres is likely nearing the end of its life and requires immediate replacement regardless of current tread depth. Furthermore, because the nearside rear child seat prevented a full inspection of the adult seat belt during the last test, this component must be manually checked to ensure the webbing is free of fraying or structural damage.
