2015 Renault Captur 1.5L Diesel · SD15 YOL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in November 2025 at 69,397 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows a pattern of reactive repair rather than proactive prevention. While the car failed in March 2025 due to split drive shaft boots and a registration plate lamp, these issues were addressed immediately to secure a pass later that same month. This suggests the current owner is willing to rectify safety-critical failures once they are flagged. At eleven years old, the recorded mileage of 69,397 miles represents an annual average of approximately 6,300 miles, which is consistent with low-to-average usage. The data shows regular intervals between tests, with roughly 4,000 miles driven between April 2024 and March 2025, and another 2,300 miles leading into November. This low mileage generally reduces the mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine, though it can lead to the degradation of rubber components and seals over time through age. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front drive assembly, as the constant velocity boots have shown a history of failure across 2024 and 2025. Check for grease leakage around the front wheel hubs, which would indicate the new boots are already failing. The braking system also shows a recurring trend, with worn front discs and fluctuating brakes noted between 2023 and 2025. Verify the current thickness of the front rotors and check for any uneven wear or vibration that might suggest the previous issues were temporary. Final attention should be paid to the tyre condition and suspension. Given the 2023 advisories regarding inner-edge wear and perishing rubber, and the noted tyre pressure monitoring system fault, the buyer must ensure all tyres are fresh and the sensors are functioning correctly. Inspect the suspension bushes and bolts for signs of cracking, as poor tyre alignment often causes the uneven wear seen in the historical record.
