2016 Renault Captur 1.5L Diesel · LV66 AEO

The 2016 Renault Captur has maintained a clean MOT history with no defects recorded across all tests, including the most recent examination on 2025-11-17 at 103,756 miles. This consistency suggests the vehicle has been reliably roadworthy under DVSA standards, though the duplicate entry for the 2024 test—one pass and one fail at the same mileage—appears anomalous and may indicate a clerical error rather than a mechanical issue. The absence of advisories or recurring faults implies no systematic neglect of critical components, but the lack of pre-MOT servicing records means hidden wear cannot be confirmed. Mileage progression shows steady usage, averaging around 10,376 miles annually, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. There are no prolonged gaps or abrupt spikes in mileage, though the 2023-2024 interval (77,779 to 90,968 miles) covers just over a year, suggesting either consistent driving or a period of storage without significant wear. The most recent test occurred just six months ago, which is acceptable but does not guarantee the vehicle remains free of deferred issues or recent wear beyond MOT thresholds. Given the clean MOT record, a buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of suspension components—particularly rear coil springs and bushes—due to the vehicle’s age and mileage. Binding brakes or uneven wear on discs could indicate past neglect, despite no recorded failures. Corrosion should be checked at wheel arches, sills, and subframe areas, as these are common failure points for this model. Exhaust emissions should also be verified, as catalytic converter efficiency can degrade without visible MOT failings. Finally, verify the integrity of the drivetrain mounts and engine mounts, as these often fail silently before causing handling or noise issues.
