Buying Tips for 2019 Renault Captur (Gen 1)

  • On EDC cars, drive in heavy traffic and on hills rather than relying on a quick test route
  • If it is a 1.2 TCe, ask directly about oil use and walk away from cars that regularly need top-ups
  • Check the infotainment and parking-camera functions because minor electrical faults are common
  • Listen for knocks from the front end because drop links and wishbone bushes wear on UK roads
