2021 Renault Captur Launch ED E-Tech Phev A 1.6L Hybrid electric · SL21 WGK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, with the maintenance trend showing signs of improvement following previous neglect. The most recent test on 1 May 2026 at 49,556 miles passed with only minor defects related to perished windscreen wiper blades. This represents a significant improvement over the 2024 record, which flagged multiple mechanical issues, suggesting the current owner has addressed high-priority maintenance items identified in earlier inspections. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per year. The record progressed from 30,463 miles in May 2024 to 39,984 miles in May 2025, and finally 49,556 miles by May 2026. This steady usage indicates regular road miles rather than long periods of stagnation or excessive heavy loading, which generally helps prevent the degradation of rubber components and fluid sealrelated within the hybrid drivetrain system. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension geometry and alignment, as the 2024 test advisory noted inner edge wear on both front tyres. This specific wear pattern often indicates incorrect tracking or worn suspension bushes which may not have been fully rectified despite the tyre replacement. The previously damaged undertray noted under the offside front floorpan in 2024 should be visually inspected to ensure no structural damage exists to the high-voltage cabling or mounting points inherent to the PHEV system.
