Our Verdict
A strong recommendation for buyers seeking a modern, Euro 6 compliant compact SUV. This specific white Renault Captur shows a consistent maintenance record and a very clean MOT history.
When purchasing this vehicle, focus on the service history to ensure the 1.3L petrol engine has had regular oil changes, as this is key to long-term reliability. Given the MOT history, check if the tyres have been replaced recently, as the February 2026 test noted the offside front tyre was nearing its legal limit.
Negotiate based on the current state of the tyres and any upcoming service intervals. Ensure you have a full set of keys and the original handbook, as these are often missing on fleet or lease-return vehicles of this age.
The 1333cc petrol engine is designed for efficiency and meets Euro 6DG standards, meaning it is compliant with ULEZ and other clean air zones across the UK. Insurance groups for the Captur are generally mid-range, making it an affordable option for most drivers.
Annual costs will be dominated by fuel and the standard VED tax band for this engine size. Maintenance should be predictable, primarily consisting of annual servicing and the occasional replacement of wear-and-tear items like brake pads and tyres.
Pay close attention to the tyres. The MOT history shows a recurring pattern of front tyre wear, with both the nearside and offside front tyres flagged in 2023, and the offside front again in February 2026. This could suggest a need for wheel alignment or a specific driving style that wears the edges of the tyres.
Inspect the white paintwork for any stone chips or scuffs, and check the interior for wear consistent with 52,000 miles. While the MOTs are clean, a physical check of the suspension components and brake discs is always recommended for a vehicle of this age.
This 2020 Renault Captur has covered 52,172 miles since its first registration in March 2020, reflecting steady and regular use. The MOT history is impressively clean, with no major mechanical failures or structural issues recorded over the last four years. It represents a reliable value proposition for those needing a petrol-powered city car with a proven track record of passing inspections.
While aggregate data is not provided, this specific vehicle's history of clean MOT passes suggests a well-maintained example of the Captur range.

- EDC hesitation and clutch shudderModerate
The dual-clutch Captur can feel indecisive at low speed and occasionally shudder or jerk when moving off, especially if it has lived in urban traffic.
- 1.3 TCe coolant housing leaksModerate
The 1.3 TCe is much less risky than the old 1.2, but plastic cooling parts can still leak and create creeping coolant loss on otherwise good cars.
