2014 Renault Captur D-QUE M-NAV NRG TCE S/S 0.9L Petrol · SC63 OAM

The vehicle currently holds a clean roadworthiness status following its most recent test, though the history shows volatility. On 23 September 2025 at 76,704 miles, the car passed with no defects recorded, reversing a failure just five days prior at 76,601 miles. While the current trend shows a successful pass, the three consecutive failures in 2024 suggest a period of reactive maintenance where the owner only addressed faults when prompted by the MOT tester rather than performing preventative upkeep. The mileage pattern is consistent with a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,400 miles per year. The data shows a period of high activity between July 2024 and September 2024, where the car covered 5,477 miles in just two months. Since the final test in September 2025, the vehicle has covered roughly 4,400 miles over nine months. This relatively low annual usage reduces wear on the drivetrain but increases the risk of rubber-based components like suspension bushes and seals degrading due to age rather than mechanical mileage. A buyer must scrutinise the areas that caused the three failures in 2024, as the specific mechanical reasons for those rejects are not detailed in the summary. Given the rapid succession of those failures, a physical inspection of the suspension geometry, brake lines, and exhaust condition is essential to ensure the underlying issues were not merely masked. Check for structural corrosion on the sills and subframe, as older vehicles of this age often begin to show surface rust that can progress into structural failure if left unmonitored.
