2022 Renault Captur SE Edition TCE 1.0L Petrol · ST72 CUV

The roadworthiness record for this vehicle is notably clean, characterized by a consistent ability to meet DVSA standards without any recorded failures. This stable trend is evidenced by a pass on 19 March 2025 with no defects, followed by a further pass on 8 January 2026. The only point of mechanical note is a single advisory regarding the condition of a tyre, suggesting that the vehicle has remained structurally and mechanically compliant throughout its testing history. Recorded mileage is 22,207 miles over approximately four years, which averages to roughly 5,552 miles per year. This is a low annual accumulation rate. Mechanically, such a usage profile typically results in less wear on the engine, gearbox, and suspension components than would be expected for a vehicle of this age. However, low usage can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components that do not benefit from regular heat cycles and movement. The specific advisory from the January 2026 test identifies the offside rear 215/55r18 tyre as being slightly damaged, cracked, or perishing. A prospective buyer should conduct a close physical inspection of the sidewalls on all four tyres to determine if this perishing is isolated to one unit or if it is a systemic issue affecting the original factory-fitted rubber. Any visible cracking or surface degradation should be addressed to ensure grip and structural integrity. During a test drive, the buyer should listen for any unusual noises from the rear axle and feel for any vibrations through the chassis that could indicate uneven tyre wear or degradation. While the MOT history shows no issues with the braking system or suspension, it is advisable to check for any steering pull or instability at motorway speeds, which would indicate alignment issues that may have developed since the last inspection.
