2020 Renault Captur S Edition TCE Auto 1.3L Petrol · RO20 XSR

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift from clean passes to emerging mechanical wear. The most recent test conducted in February 2026 at 27,210 miles introduced advisories regarding the front suspension arm bushes and worn brake discs. This marks a departure from the clean records seen in 2024 and 2025, indicating that components are now reaching their service limits despite the low overall mileage. The mileage profile is notably low for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,500 miles per year. There is a significant gap of nearly 7,000 miles between the July 2023 and January 2025 tests, followed by a more rapid increase of 9,000 miles in the final 14 months. While the low annual usage suggests less overall strain on the drivetrain and engine, long periods of potential standing can sometimes cause rubber components like suspension bushes to perish or age, which may align with the recent advisories found. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension to verify the extent of the arm bush wear noted in the February 2026 record. The tester flagged wear on both the nearside and offside bushes, which suggests replacement may be imminent to prevent further handling issues. Additionally, the front brake discs are noted as worn, requiring a thickness check against the manufacturer's minimum specifications. Given the 2023 advisory regarding uneven tyre wear on the inner edges, an alignment check is also necessary to ensure the suspension geometry is not causing premature tyre degradation.
