2014 Renault Captur 1.5L Diesel · S26 RAR

The Renault Captur presents as roadworthy following its most recent test on 2 September 2025 at 169,585 miles, where the tester recorded no defects and issued a pass. The maintenance trend is stable on paper, with the vehicle clearing its last examination cleanly. Prior to that, the August 2025 and August 2024 tests each returned an initial failure followed by a pass within days at identical mileages, yet the DVSA entries list no defects against those failures, which points to administrative or presentation anomalies rather than confirmed mechanical faults. At roughly 12 years old the Captur shows 169,585 recorded miles, an average of about 14,132 miles per year and high for its age. The record jumps from 150,651 miles at the August 2023 pass to 159,534 miles by the failed 5 August 2024 test, then 159,580 miles the next day on the pass, and holds at 169,585 miles across both the failed 26 August 2025 and passed 2 September 2025 entries. Annual use ran near 9,000 miles between 2023 and 2024, then about 10,000 miles into 2025, with no sudden accumulation but consistent high-distance service that loads consumables and drivetrain parts. The sparse history gives no advisories on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions across the five years shown. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of the front suspension arms and rear axle bushes, given the mileage, plus measure brake disc wear and check for structural rust on sills and subframes that a clean MOT may not capture if minor. The twin failure-then-pass cycles at 159,585 and 169,585 miles with zero listed defects warrant a check of the test centre paperwork to confirm no omitted fault lines were cleared privately.
