2015 Renault Captur 0.9L Petrol · SH65 DFC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable and improving maintenance trend. Following the most recent test in March 2026 at 52,801 miles, the car passed with no recorded defects, indicating that the mechanical issues identified in previous years have been addressed. The transition from a failure in late 2024 to clean pass records in the subsequent two tests suggests the current owner is proactive regarding necessary mechanical repairs. The mileage profile is characteristically low for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,800 miles per annum. However, there is a significant anomaly in usage patterns between September 2024 and April 2025, where the car covered 26,843 miles in just under seven months. This sudden burst of activity follows long periods of low-mileage operation, suggesting a recent shift to long-distance use. Such periods of inactivity can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components and seals, despite the low odometer reading. A physical inspection should focus specifically on the front suspension and tyre geometry. The failure in September 2024 highlighted both the offside and nearside front tyres worn on the inner edges, which typically indicates an alignment issue or worn suspension bushes. While the nearside anti-roll bar linkage was replaced at that time, a buyer should verify there is no remaining play in the steering components and that the wear does not recur. Given the low mileage and periods of standing, also check the brake discs for surface corrosion or seizing, which often occurs on vehicles that sit stationary for extended durations.
