2013 Renault Captur 0.9L Petrol · RO63 ABN

The vehicle last passed an MOT on 2021‑10‑07 at 57,865 miles and has not been tested since, meaning it currently holds no valid MOT certificate. The earlier failures in 2017 (windscreen wipers) and 2018 (front tyre wear) were resolved by 2020, and the 2021 test recorded no defects, indicating an improving maintenance trend up to that point. However, the four‑year gap without a test outweighs that improvement and leaves the car’s roadworthiness uncertain. Mileage accumulation has been modest, averaging roughly 4,450 miles per year over its 13‑year life, which points to light use or prolonged storage. The last recorded mileage jump from 55,715 miles in September 2020 to 57,865 miles in October 2021 represents only 2,150 miles in a year, reinforcing the low‑usage pattern. The absence of any MOT entries between 2021 and the present is a notable gap that suggests the vehicle may have been kept off‑road or neglected in terms of legal compliance. A buyer should inspect the front tyres for the inner‑edge wear noted in the 2018 test, confirming they are not close to the legal limit. The rear tyre should be checked for the nail repair recorded in 2020. The windscreen wiper blades must be tested for effective clearing, as they failed twice in 2017. The under‑tray fitted in 2016 should be examined for corrosion or damage, and suspension bushes, brake discs, and calipers inspected for wear consistent with low‑mileage but possible storage‑related deterioration. Fluid levels, battery condition, and any signs of rust on the chassis are also essential checks given the extended period without use. Overall, the car’s low mileage and a clean 2021 MOT suggest limited mechanical wear, yet the lack of a recent test renders it non‑roadworthy at present. A thorough pre‑purchase inspection is required to verify the condition of the tyres, wipers, under‑tray, and ancillary systems, and to ensure the vehicle can be brought up to MOT standard promptly.
