2019 Renault Captur 0.9L Petrol · SJ19 FSM

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a clean pass on June 6 2025 at 16,378 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the owner has consistently addressed identified failures immediately prior to re-testing. While the two most recent tests resulted in failures, the lack of advisories on the latest record indicates that the primary mechanical and safety components were meeting a functional standard at the time of inspection. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,340 miles per year. Between the June 2023 and June 2024 tests, the car covered only 3,178 miles, with another 4,189 miles recorded in the subsequent year leading up to the most recent test. This low usage suggests the drivetrain and engine have seen minimal mechanical wear from high mileage. However, long periods of stationary time between tests can sometimes lead to flat spotting on brake discs or the degradation of rubber components and seals. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension geometry, as the offside front suspension arm ball joint failed in June 2024 at 12,187 miles. Although this was rectified, low-mileage vehicles can suffer from premature bushing wear if driven on short distances infrequently. The 2025 failure regarding an offside rear tyre with a cut reaching the cords suggests physical damage or curb impact, necessitating a thorough check of all tyre sidewalls for structural integrity or cracking. Given the age relative to the mileage, checking for signs of corrosion on the brake lines and underbody is essential to ensure the vehicle has not sat undisturbed in a damp environment.
