2019 Renault Captur 0.9L Petrol · SW19 NWR

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a concerning trend of neglected basic consumables. While it passed its most recent test in July 2025 at 21,596 miles, this followed a failure just one day prior due to critical tyre defects across all four corners. The transition from a clean record in 2023 to multiple failures in 2025 suggests that the owner only addresses faults when forced by an MOT failure rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,085 miles per year. There is a significant gap of nearly 9,000 miles between July 2022 and July 2023, followed by another 1,000-mile stretch between 2023 and 2024. This low usage explains the recurring perishing of the tyres and the corrosion on the brake components. When a car sits for long periods, the rubber degrades and metal components develop surface rust, leading to the issues seen despite the low odometer reading. A buyer must inspect the front brake discs specifically, as they have been flagged as pitted and corroded since 2024 and remained an advisory in 2025. This persistent lack of surface cleaning indicates the vehicle is not driven frequently enough to clear the rotors. The tyres should be checked for deep sidewall cracking upon purchase, as the history shows a consistent pattern of failure due to age rather than tread wear. Additionally, inspect the rubber bushings and suspension components for cracking, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from dry rot in components that do not move regularly.
