2014 Renault Captur 0.9L Petrol · RV64 JBX

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its last five MOT examinations without failure. The most recent test conducted in September 2025 at 95,679 miles resulted in a pass despite an advisory for a nearside rear tyre being close to the legal limit and showing uneven edge wear. This indicates that while the mechanical and safety components are meeting minimum standards, basic consumable items are reaching the end of their functional life cycles. The mileage progression is remarkably consistent for a twelve-year-old Captur, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per annum. Between July 2021 and September 2025, the vehicle covered 33,427 miles, reflecting a steady usage pattern rather than long periods of stagnation or sudden heavy strain. The 6,500-mile gap between the 2024 and 2025 tests suggests the car is used regularly for relatively short trips, which typically reduces the stress on the drivetrain and suspension components compared to high-mileage city vehicles. A buyer should pay close attention to the recurring advisories regarding uneven tyre wear noted in both 2023 and 2025. This specific pattern often points to underlying alignment issues or worn suspension bushes on the rear axle that have not been proactively addressed. Given that the vehicle is approaching 100,000 miles, a physical inspection of the coil springs and shock absorbers is essential to ensure no excessive play has developed. While the record shows no structural corrosion or brake failures, the repeated tyre issues suggest the previous owner was waiting for MOT advisories rather than performing preventative maintenance.
