2014 Renault Captur 1.5L Diesel · RO64 ETJ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, having passed its most recent inspection on October 27 2025 at 77,438 miles. While the record shows a failure on that same date, the immediate pass indicates a minor defect was rectified quickly without revealing deep-seated mechanical or structural failure. The overall maintenance trend appears consistent, as the vehicle has maintained a clean record of major advisories and defects across the last three testing cycles. The mileage pattern is consistent with a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,450 miles per year. Between October 2023 at 54,512 miles and October 2025 at 77,438 miles, the car covered 22,926 miles, representing a recent increase in usage to over 11,000 miles per annum. This acceleration suggests the car is being used regularly, which helps prevent the degradation of seals often seen in low-mileage vehicles that sit stationary. The data is straightforward, showing that components such as rubber bushes and brake assemblies have been subjected to normal operational stress. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension geometry and braking system, as these are the most common areas for wear on this model at this age. Given the failures recorded in 2023 and 2025, check for play in the control arm bushes or signs of weeping from the calipers. Although the MOT history does not flag structural corrosion, a visual check of the rear sills and exhaust mounting points remains necessary to ensure no hidden rust has developed between the annual tests.
