2015 Renault Capturd-QUE S M-NAV NRG Dcisss 1.5L Diesel · VUI 2061

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 24 November 2025 with no defects or advisories recorded. Looking back through the history to August 2022, the maintenance trend is exceptionally stable, with four consecutive clean passes. Such a consistent record without a single advisory is uncommon for a vehicle of this vintage and suggests a rigorous approach to preventative maintenance or a very high standard of ownership. The recorded mileage of 155,632 miles is high for an eleven year old vehicle, averaging approximately 14,148 miles per annum. While this indicates significant usage, high-mileage diesel vehicles often benefit from long-distance motorway cycles which reduce carbon buildup in the engine and particulate filter compared to urban stop-start driving. However, this level of accumulation inevitably places greater stress on the drivetrain, engine internals, and chassis components, meaning the vehicle is well into its second or third lifecycle for many wearable parts. Despite the clean MOT record, a prospective buyer must verify the service history regarding the timing belt and water pump, as these are critical failure points on the dCi engine and should have been replaced at least once, if not twice, given the mileage. During a physical inspection, check the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of fatigue or splitting, as these often wear out without triggering an immediate MOT failure. Examine the brake discs for significant lip wear and check the tyre treads for uneven wear patterns, which could indicate a need for wheel alignment or worn steering rack components. On the test drive, pay close attention to the clutch take-up and listen for any rattling or shuddering from the flywheel, which is a common wear item on high-mileage diesels. Listen for any clunks or knocks over uneven surfaces that would suggest worn shock absorbers or linkage joints. Finally, ensure the engine reaches operating temperature smoothly and check for any excessive exhaust smoke upon acceleration, which would indicate the health of the turbocharger and diesel particulate filter. Verify that all calendar-based fluids, including brake fluid and coolant, have been refreshed according to the manufacturer's intervals.
