2021 Renault Captur Iconic TCE 1.0L Petrol · SA21 FBU

The Renault Captur presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a notably clean bill of health. The most recent test on 26 February 2026 at 33,838 miles recorded a complete pass with zero defects, advisories, or failures. This outcome is a significant improvement over the 2024 test, indicating that the previous minor tyre damage has been rectified and the vehicle is currently in strong mechanical order. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent and typical for a five-year-old vehicle. Between the February 2024 test at 25,345 miles and the February 2025 test at 30,951 miles, the car covered 5,606 miles. The following year saw a slightly lower accumulation of 2,887 miles, bringing the total to 33,838 miles by February 2026. This equates to an annual average of approximately 6,768 miles, reflecting steady, unremarkable daily use rather than prolonged standing or excessively high motorway mileage. Despite the current clean MOT, the 2024 advisory regarding a nail in the Nearside Rear tyre warrants attention during a physical inspection. A penetrating puncture repair, particularly one that has been on the vehicle for over two years, requires verification. A buyer should inspect the repaired area for sidewall integrity and check the tyre's overall condition, including tread depth and uneven wear patterns. Furthermore, given the vehicle's age and the typical urban use suggested by its mileage, a thorough inspection of the undercarriage is advisable. Check the exhaust system for corrosion, examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for perishing, and assess the condition of the brake discs and calipers, as binding or uneven wear can develop between annual tests.
