2019 Renault Captur 0.9L Petrol · SW19 NWO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a clean pass on April 20, 2026. The maintenance trend shows signs of improvement after a mechanical failure earlier that year. While the car passed without defects recently, it failed just three weeks prior at 29,512 miles due to excessive movement in the rear parking brake lever, which prevented a full brake performance test. This indicates that the owner addressed the adjustment issue immediately, as the vehicle passed the subsequent re-test. At recorded 29,515 miles over seven years, the car has clocked significantly below the national average, averaging approximately 4,200 miles annually. This low usage often reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine, but it introduces risks related to rubber-based components. The July 2025 test at 28,094 miles highlighted this vulnerability, flagging both rear tyres for per and cracking, a common symptom of low-mileage vehicles that sit stationary and allow rubber to dry out before the tread depth is exhausted. A buyer should focus inspection on the braking system to ensure the recurring issues have been fully resolved. The 2025 advisory noted minor rear service brake binding, and the 2026 failure involved the parking brake mechanism adjustment. A physical inspection should verify that the calipers are not seizing and that the parking brake provides firm, consistent hold. Given the low mileage, the buyer should also inspect the tyre sidewalls for further cracking and the suspension bushes for perish, as these components age based on time rather than miles driven.
