2015 Renault Captur 1.5L Diesel · SX64 CWD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the recent MOT history indicates a trend of reactive maintenance rather than preventative care. While it passed the test on 10 December 2025 at 70,202 miles, this followed two consecutive failures within the same month. The transition from a clean record in late 2023 to multiple failures in late 2025 suggests that mechanical components are only being addressed once they reach the legal limit or failure point. At 70,202 miles, the vehicle has averaged approximately 6,382 miles per year over its 11-year lifespan, which is consistent with a low-mileage profile. However, the data shows a significant spike in activity between December 2024 (65,678 miles) and December 2025 (70,202 miles), where the car covered over 4,500 miles in a single year. This relatively rapid mileage accumulation coincides with the recent failures regarding tyres and suspension components, indicating the vehicle has been under heavier use during this period. A buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the suspension and braking systems. The nearside front upper anti-roll bar ball joint dust cover was noted as severely deteriorated in December 2025, a condition that can lead to rapid joint failure if not replaced. Furthermore, the front brake discs have been flagged as worn or corroded across multiple tests in 2025, suggesting the braking system is nearing the end of its effective life. The recurring issue with tyres reaching the legal limit or showing cracking, particularly on the offside rear, also points to potential alignment issues or age-related rubber degradation despite the low mileage. The malfunctioning tyre pressure monitoring system noted in December 2025 should also be verified to ensure it has been properly rectified.
