2014 Renault Captur 0.9L Petrol · SH14 ABF

The vehicle currently maintains a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by a clean MOT pass in April 2026 at 74,314 miles where no defects were recorded. The maintenance trend shows a recent improvement following a period of recurring minor faults between 2023 and 2024. While previous tests flagged various consumable issues, the most recent inspection suggests the current owner is addressing identified wear and tear effectively before they escalate into mechanical failures. At 12 years old, the recorded mileage of 74,314 miles represents a consistent usage pattern of approximately 6,200 miles per year. This indicates regular but light use, which often spares mechanical components from the rapid degradation associated with long stationary periods. The data shows a steady accumulation of mileage, such as the 7,774 miles driven between the April 2025 and April 2026 tests. There are no significant gaps in the testing history or unexplained spikes in mileage, suggesting the vehicle has been in use in a predictable manner throughout its life. A buyer should inspect the front braking system specifically, as the 2024 test flagged front brake discs as pitted and scored. Although the vehicle passed the 2026 test without defects, the presence of pitting often indicates moisture-related corrosion or infrequent use. The history also shows recurring issues with tyre quality, with sidewall damage and uneven wear noted in 2023 and 2024. A physical inspection of the current tyre tread and sidewalls is necessary to ensure these previous issues have not been neglected. Structural components require attention given the 2023 report of a broken nearside front headlamp bracket and damaged wing liner. While these were marked as secure, such plastic damage can lead to moisture ingress into electrical components over time. There is no evidence of structural corrosion failures in the record, but a manual check of the chassis and mounting points for typical rust is standard for a vehicle of this age and mileage to ensure the structural integrity remains sound.
