2017 Renault Captur 0.9L Petrol · WK67 YWM

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, having passed its most recent inspection on 8 December 2025 at 31,491 miles. While it failed on that same day due to a non-functional nearside front headlamp on the dipped beam, the immediate rectification allowed for a pass with no remaining defects. The history indicates a vehicle that is generally well-maintained with no recurring mechanical or structural failures recorded over the last four years. The mileage pattern is notably low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,500 miles per year. There is a significant gap in usage between the November 2022 test at 22,022 miles and the January 2025 test at 26,927 miles, representing only 4,905 miles over twenty-six months. This low-frequency use suggests minimal wear on the drivetrain and engine components, but it increases the risk of age-related degradation in rubber parts and fluids due to long periods of standing stationary. A buyer should specifically inspect the condition of the tyres, as the October 2023 test at 25,332 miles flagged sidewall perishing and cracking on both rear tyres. Given the low mileage and high age, the rubber compound is likely to dry out rather than wear down through friction. Physical inspection should also focus on brake components for corrosion on the discs, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from surface rust and seized calipers when not driven frequently to clear the braking surfaces.
