2014 Renault Captur 0.9L Petrol · SA64 AXY

The vehicle remains technically roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a pattern of reactive rather than preventative care regarding consumables. The most recent test in September 2025 at 31,251 miles flagged front brake pads as wearing thin, which is a recurring issue also noted in both 2023 and 2024. While the car passes its tests, the persistent nature of brake wear suggests that components are only replaced when they approach failure limits. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 2014 Captur, averaging approximately 2,600 miles per year. There is a significant gap in usage between September 2022 and 2023, where the vehicle covered only 238 miles in a full year. This low-intensity usage often leads to the vehicle sitting for long periods, which is supported by the advisories for perishing and cracking tyres recorded in 2021 and 2024. These defects indicate that the rubber compounds are degrading due to age rather than mileage-related wear. A buyer must physically inspect the front radiator support panel, as corrosion was identified in both 2023 and 2024. While this is a structural component, surface rust needs to be monitored to ensure it does not progress into deep perforation. The tyres should also be checked for sidewall cracking, as the history shows the vehicle is prone to age-related degradation. Furthermore, the low mileage means brake discs should be inspected for pitting or caliper seizing, which frequently occurs when cars remain stationary for extended periods.
