2015 Renault Captur 0.9L Petrol · VU65 OKP

The 2015 Renault Captur presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass at its most recent MOT on 22 January 2026 at 122,817 miles. The tester recorded no defects or advisories, indicating the vehicle met all roadworthiness standards at that time. A minor anomaly occurred on 17 January 2025 when the car failed at 107,983 miles despite no defects being recorded, suggesting an aborted test or procedural issue rather than a mechanical fault. The subsequent retest three days later passed cleanly, confirming the vehicle's structural and mechanical integrity remains sound. The mileage accumulation aligns reasonably with the vehicle's age, though the rate of use has increased in recent years. Between the November 2022 test at 77,571 miles and the January 2024 test at 91,247 miles, the car covered roughly 13,676 miles over fourteen months. However, the annual mileage jumped notably thereafter, with 16,741 miles accumulated between January 2024 and January 2025, and 14,829 miles between January 2025 and January 2026. This shift from lighter use to an average of around 15,000 miles per year implies heavier recent driving, which accelerates wear on consumables and drivetrain components. Despite the absence of recorded MOT advisories, a vehicle approaching 123,000 miles demands a thorough physical inspection of its core mechanical systems. A buyer should closely examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for deterioration, as high-mileage Renault Capturs frequently suffer from premature wear in these areas. Brake discs and pads require close scrutiny for scoring or uneven wear, while the exhaust system and catalytic converter should be checked for corrosion and emissions compliance. Structural rust around the subframes and inner wheel arches also warrants investigation, as the clean MOT record does not preclude the onset of cosmetic or structural corrosion typical of an eleven-year-old vehicle.
