2014 Renault Captur 0.9L Petrol · SH02 RNH

The 2014 Renault Captur presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a fully clean pass on 30 September 2025 at 73,514 miles with zero defects recorded. That result is the strongest indicator in the file. Prior to that, the vehicle had failed its March 2024 test at 68,043 miles on a single item, a cut deep enough to expose ply or cords in the nearside rear tyre tread. The same car passed cleanly just hours later on that date after the tyre was replaced, suggesting the owner acted promptly. Before 2024, the only notable advisory appeared in March 2022 at 56,437 miles, when both front brake discs were worn and slightly scored alongside a cracked rear registration plate. Both issues were advisory-level, not failures, and there is no evidence they recurred. The overall trajectory is one of steady upkeep rather than neglect. The mileage progression is consistent and unremarkable for a vehicle of this age. From 56,437 miles in March 2022 to 68,043 miles in March 2024, the car covered roughly 11,600 miles across two years. The gap between March 2024 and September 2025 adds a further 5,471 miles over approximately eighteen months. That works out to around 6,100 miles per year, which is typical for a petrol crossover used for mixed short and longer journeys. There are no suspicious jumps or prolonged static periods that would raise odometer tampering concerns. A buyer should still inspect the front brake discs and pads in person. The 2022 advisory flagged scoring, and while the subsequent 2023 and 2025 clean passes suggest the discs were either within tolerance or replaced, physical inspection will confirm current thickness and surface condition. The nearside rear tyre failure in 2024 points to a one-off puncture or sidewall damage rather than a systemic issue, but checking all four tyres for uneven wear, age-related cracking, and correct pressures remains sensible. The cracked rear registration plate noted in 2022 has clearly been addressed given later passes, yet verifying the plate is legible and securely mounted is quick and worthwhile. Beyond the recorded items, focus the in-person check on structural corrosion around the rear subframe, inner wing arches, and sill edges, as these are common deterioration points on Capturs of this generation. Examine suspension bushes and drop links for play, particularly at the front, and listen for exhaust blowing or gas leaks at the manifold and flexi-joint during a cold start. The clean recent MOT is encouraging, but a short test drive under varied load and speed will reveal whether the drivetrain, steering, and braking feel match the paper record.
