RENAULT CAPTUR2016 · 1.5L Diesel

The vehicle presents a stable and clean roadworthiness profile, evidenced by the most recent MOT pass on 29 January 2026 at 67,340 miles. The lack of recorded defects or advisories during this latest inspection indicates that the vehicle is currently in good mechanical health. While the history shows two instances of initial test failures in 2024 and 2025, these were resolved immediately on the same day without subsequent defects being logged, suggesting these were likely minor administrative or procedural issues rather than significant mechanical failures. The total recorded mileage of 67,340 miles over a ten-year period aligns with typical usage patterns for this class of vehicle, averaging approximately 6,700 miles per annum. The consistency of the annual testing schedule demonstrates that the vehicle has remained in regular use rather than suffering from prolonged periods of inactivity. This steady accumulation of mileage is generally preferable to very low usage, as it reduces the risk of issues associated with standing, such as seized brake components or degraded seals. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the standard consumable items that do not always trigger an MOT advisory until they reach a critical state. Given the age of the vehicle, perform a thorough check of the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of fatigue or perished rubber, as these components often show wear at this mileage. Inspect the brake discs and pads for surface corrosion or uneven wear patterns, as these are common points of maintenance on a ten-year-old Renault. While the MOT history is clean, verify the service history documentation to ensure that the engine oil and filters have been changed according to the manufacturer schedule, as the MOT test does not account for internal engine condition or fluid degradation.
