2021 Renault Captur Iconic TCE Auto 1.3L Petrol · NU71 PXB

The 2025‑10‑16 MOT at 14,182 miles confirms the Renault Captur remains road‑legal, with only tyre wear noted as a defect. The tester recorded near‑legal tread depth on both front inner tyres, flagging them as worn on the edge, but no failures in suspension, brakes, or structural integrity. This outcome indicates a stable maintenance record, with no evidence of worsening mechanical condition since the previous test. The vehicle’s recorded mileage of 14,182 miles at five years old translates to roughly 2,836 miles per year, well below the typical usage for a 2021 model. The interval between the 2024‑10‑16 test (10,420 miles) and the 2025‑10‑16 test shows an increase of 3,762 miles, suggesting a modest rise in annual usage during that period, yet the overall pattern remains low‑kilometre and consistent with light or intermittent use. A buyer should therefore focus on the items highlighted by the MOT: the inner tyre wear points to possible mis‑alignment or suspension bush wear, so inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs and wheel alignment is advisable. The absence of brake defects in both tests is positive, but the tester noted no binding calipers, so checking brake discs, pads and caliper movement remains prudent. Any signs of structural rust on the chassis, wheel arches or underbody should also be examined, as should the condition of the exhaust system and emissions output. In summary, the Captur’s roadworthiness is confirmed for the present, but the recent tyre wear signals the need for replacement and a thorough check of suspension and braking components. The low mileage suggests careful ownership, yet the buyer must verify that the vehicle has not suffered from prolonged periods of inactivity, which can affect rubber and structural elements.
