Our Verdict
Proceed with confidence, as this red Renault Captur shows a consistent record of passing its MOT tests without defects in recent years. While the mileage is higher than the model average, the recent lack of advisories is a positive indicator for a buyer.
When inspecting this specific 898cc petrol variant, check the service history to see how the higher-than-average mileage has been managed. Because the engine is a smaller capacity unit, ensuring regular oil changes has been performed is vital for long-term health.
Given the model's aggregate data, pay close attention to the condition of the tyres and the anti-roll bars during your physical inspection. While this specific vehicle has not recorded these issues in its recent MOTs, they are common failure points for the Captur across the wider fleet.
With a small 898.0cc petrol engine, this Captur is designed for efficiency, likely sitting in a lower insurance group and tax band compared to larger SUVs. Fuel economy should be relatively high, making it suitable for mixed driving.
Maintenance costs for this model are typically moderate, though you should budget for wear-and-tear items like tyres and braking components. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and basic maintenance, are approximately £1,100-£1,400 depending on annual mileage.
Focus your inspection on the lighting systems and suspension components. Although the MOT records from 2024 to 2026 show no defects, the aggregate data for this model highlights headlamps and anti-roll bars as frequent failure points.
Additionally, check the tyre tread depth and sidewall condition across all four wheels. While this vehicle passed its 2026 MOT with no defects, the high mileage suggests that suspension bushings and tyres may be approaching the end of their service life.
This 2018 Renault Captur, finished in red, has covered 81,922 miles since its first registration in May 2018. The MOT history shows a clean run of passes from 2023 through to 2026, with no defects recorded in the last three tests. Although the mileage is significantly higher than the aggregate annual average for this model, the recent testing history is stable.
Aggregate data for the Renault Captur shows an average MOT pass rate of 83.1%, with common issues relating to headlamps, anti-roll bars, and tyres.
