2017 Renault Captur 0.9L Petrol · OO65 MAB

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the maintenance trend indicates a reactive approach to repairs rather than preventative care. The most recent test in November 2025 at 30,745 miles passed despite nearside and offside front tyres reaching the legal limit and showing uneven edge wear. This follows a pattern seen in 2023 where the vehicle failed on multiple consumable-related items, suggesting that the owner only addresses faults once they trigger an MOT failure. The mileage profile is notably low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,400 miles per year. There is a significant anomaly in the records between August 2021 and August 2022, where the mileage dropped from 39,068 to 21,384 miles, likely indicating a clerical entry error or an odometer replacement. Since the 2022 test, the car has covered roughly 3,000 miles annually. This low annual usage explains the premature degradation of the rubber components, which showed cracks and perishing noted in the August 2023 test. A buyer should specifically inspect the braking system, as the tester flagged excessively fluctuating front service brakes in September 2024. This condition often indicates warped discs or seized calipers frequently resulting from low use where corrosion builds up. The recurring issues with thin brake pads and uneven tyre wear suggest the suspension geometry or wheel alignment may require a professional check. Additionally, the buyer should verify the coolant levels and the washer system, as these were previously identified as points of failure due to neglect.
