2014 Renault Captur 1.5L Diesel · SA64 FVZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a reactive approach to repairs rather than preventative care. The most recent test in November 2025 at 85,989 miles shows a pass immediately following a failure the previous day. While the owner addressed the fractured offside front coil spring, the tester still flagged pitted front brake discs and worn lower suspension arm bushes. This suggests that the owner only replaces components once they reach the point of failure rather than monitoring signs of wear early. At 85,989 miles, the Captur averaged approximately 7,166 miles per year over its twelve-year life, which aligns with typical usage patterns for a small crossover. The data shows consistent movement, with roughly 7,800 miles covered between September 2024 and November 2025. This steady mileage suggests the vehicle has not sat for long periods, which is generally beneficial for rubber components and brake seals. However, the frequency of suspension-related faults indicates that the age of the parts is now exceeding their service life despite the relatively low annual mileage. A buyer should closely inspect the front suspension assembly during a physical viewing. The history shows recurring issues with track rod ends, coil springs, and lower arm bushes, all of which affect steering precision and vehicle handling. Because the front inner brake discs were noted as worn and pitted in the November 2025 pass, the buyer must verify if these were actually replaced or if the vehicle simply passed with an advisory. Additionally, the central windscreen damage noted in 2024 should be checked for spreading cracks that could eventually compromise the structural integrity of the glass.
