2019 Renault Captur 0.9L Petrol · SD69 FSA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in October 2025 with 55,344 miles. However, the maintenance trend shows a period of reactive rather than proactive care. While the latest test recorded no defects after correcting a minor washer fluid failure, the previous failure in late 2024 indicates a significant neglect of critical safety components. This suggests that the previous owner only addressed mechanical issues when forced by an inspection failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per year. There is a notable increase in usage between September 2023 at 17,212 miles and November 2024 at 35,441 miles, where the car covered nearly 18,000 miles in just fourteen months. This rapid burst of activity likely correlates with the heavy wear observed during the 2024 test, as the front brake components and tyres reached the end of their functional life simultaneously after the long interval between earlier clean tests. A buyer should inspect the front suspension and alignment closely, as the 2024 failure noted an offside front tyre worn on the edge, which often indicates a tracking issue or worn suspension bushes. Given that the front brake discs and pads were replaced recently after 35,000 miles, verify the current thickness of these components to ensure they are not wearing prematurely again. The structural failures noted on the two rear tyres in 2024 were resolved by replacement, but the remaining or new tyres should be checked for any further signs of sidewall damage or inconsistent consistent with the history of separation failures.
