2016 RENAULT CAPTUR1.5L Diesel

The Renault Captur presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 22 January 2026 at 58,617 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken run of clean MOT outcomes across the previous four years. Annual mileage sits well below typical averages for a 2016 vehicle. The record shows 33,908 miles at the 28 January 2022 test, rising to 40,569 by 23 January 2023, 46,709 by 23 January 2024, 52,236 by 14 January 2025, and 58,617 by January 2026. That equates to roughly 5,800 miles per year with no gaps or sudden accumulation. The DVSA data is sparse in advisories, showing no flagged wear on tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, exhaust, or corrosion across the entire history. A clean sheet across five consecutive tests implies the previous keeper maintained the car to a reasonable standard and avoided the neglect patterns seen on many low-mileage vehicles. Low annual use does carry risks that an MOT will not always expose. Extended standing periods promote perished rubber components, seized brake calipers, and underbody corrosion that testers may miss if surface condition looks presentable. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection focused on brake disc condition and caliper operation after the car's periods of rest, plus a check of suspension bushes and coil springs for age-related cracking rather than mileage wear. Examine sills and subframes for structural rust despite the absence of MOT corrosion advisories. Confirm the timing belt interval for the engine variant, as low mileage does not suspend Renault's age-based replacement schedule.
