2018 Renault Captur 1.5L Diesel · NU18 XRH

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, evidenced by its most recent pass in April 2026 at 73,176 miles. However, the maintenance trend shows a decline in proactive consumable care over the last two years. While the most recent test only flagged a deteriorating rear registration plate, the preceding two tests reveal a pattern of neglecting tyre condition and wear, suggesting the owner only addresses these issues once they reach legal failure limits or advisory thresholds. The mileage profile is consistent with typical UK usage for its age, averaging approximately 9,100 miles per year. There is a steady accumulation of roughly 13,500 miles between February 2023 and April 2024, followed by another 11,000 miles between April 2024 and April 2025. This regular usage indicates the vehicle is driven consistently rather than sitting for long periods, which is generally beneficial for engine components and seals, though it accelerates the natural wear of rubber-based parts noted in the 2025 record. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the tyres, as the history shows recurring issues with uneven wear and perishing across multiple axles. The 2024 and 2025 tests specifically highlighted tyres worn on the edges, which often indicates an incorrect wheel alignment or worn suspension bushes that require adjustment. Check the age of the rubber and sidewalls for further cracking, as the tester previously flagged perishing which suggests the rubber compound may be becoming brittle despite having remaining tread.
