2020 Renault Captur Iconic TCE Auto 1.3L Petrol · SB70 DFG

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the maintenance trend shows a recurring issue with the front suspension geometry. The most recent test in November 2025 at 12,769 miles identified a split nearside front suspension arm pin or bush. While the vehicle passed the test, the recurrence of this specific fault from the November 2023 test at 7,474 miles indicates a component that requires proactive replacement. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,128 miles per year. Between the November 2023 test at 7,474 miles and the November 2024 test at 10,333 miles, the car covered only 2,859 miles. This low rate of use generally reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine, but long periods of standing can lead to the degradation of rubber components and bushings, which aligns with the suspension-related issues recorded. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the nearside front suspension to ensure the split bush has been properly replaced rather than merely monitored. The recurring nature of this defect across three years suggests the suspension arm may be failing prematurely or that the vehicle has encountered specific lateral stresses. Additionally, check the brake discs for signs of corrosion or pitting, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from surface rust and seized calipers when not used frequently.
