2016 RENAULT CAPTUR1.5L Diesel

The 2016 Renault Captur exhibits a stable roadworthiness trend, with no defects recorded in its last five MOT tests, including the most recent 2025-10-17 assessment at 45,996 miles. All prior tests from 2021 to 2024 also passed without issues, indicating consistent maintenance. No recurring mechanical or structural faults are evident in the record, suggesting the vehicle has been well-cared for over its 10-year lifespan. The mileage of 45,996 miles for a 10-year-old vehicle is unusually low, averaging 4,600 miles annually. This pattern aligns with MOT intervals showing gradual accumulation, though a notable jump from 39,659 miles (2024) to 45,996 miles (2025) suggests increased usage in the final year. Gaps between tests, such as the 12-month interval between 2021-10-26 and 2022-09-30, do not raise immediate concerns, as the record remains largely uneventful. While the MOT history shows no critical failures, the low mileage and recent usage spike warrant a physical inspection of components prone to aging, such as suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs. A thorough check of the underbody for corrosion, particularly around the chassis and exhaust system, is advisable. Additionally, verifying the condition of tyres and wiper blades—common consumables—will confirm whether the vehicle’s maintenance has remained diligent beyond MOT requirements.
