2018 Renault Captur 1.5L Diesel · PE18 EZP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance history indicates a reactive rather than proactive service pattern. The most recent test in October 2025 at 75,177 miles passed with a single advisory for light misting on the nearside front shock absorber. This represents a stable trend compared to the September 2024 failure, where the car failed multiple points including brake pads, lighting, and tyre wear before being rectified for the subsequent pass. At 75,177 miles over eight years, the Renault Captur averages approximately 9,400 miles per annum, which aligns closely with typical national averages for a small family crossover. The data shows consistent mileage accumulation, with roughly 14,500 miles covered between the 2023 and 2024 tests, and another 12,500 miles recorded between 2024 and 2025. This regularity suggests the vehicle is used consistently rather than sitting for long periods, which helps the degradation of rubber components. A buyer should physically inspect the nearside front suspension closely, as the oil misting noted in 2025 indicates the beginning of a shock absorber failure. The history also reveals a history of front-end geometry issues, evidenced by the incorrectly seated coil spring in 2023 and uneven wear on both front tyres in 2024. Given the 2024 failure for thin brake pads, the buyer must verify the remaining life of the current pads and the condition of the discs, as the previous owner only addressed these safety components once they reached critical wear levels.
