Our Verdict
Proceed with caution and budget for imme
When viewing this specific vehicle, you should negotiate the price downwards to account for the maintenance items flagged in the June 2026 MOT. Specifically, the brake discs, pads, and tyres on the nearside and offside fronts will likely need replacing soon. Ensure you ask for receipts to confirm if these issues were addressed immediately following the June test.
Check the service history for oil change intervals, as the 1461cc diesel engine requires consistent maintenance. Given the 'light misting of oil' on the nearside front shock absorber, inspect the area around the suspension for any signs of more significant leaks. Ask the seller if the shock absorbers or tyres mentioned in the MOT history have already been replaced.
The 1.5L diesel engine is generally geared towards fuel efficiency, making it a cost-effective choice for longer motorway journeys. Tax and insurance groups for a 2015 Captur are typically moderate, though insurance costs will vary based on the driver's profile.
Maintenance costs should be factored in for wear-and-tear components like brakes and tyres, which were specifically noted in the latest MOT. An estimated annual running cost for this vehicle, covering fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance, is approximately £1,300-£1,600 depending on annual mileage.
The most critical inspection point for this vehicle is the front suspension and braking system. The June 2026 MOT recorded worn/pitted brake discs and thin pads on both the nearside and offside fronts, so check for any grinding noises or vibrations when braking.
Additionally, inspect the nearside front shock absorber for any signs of oil leakage, as the MOT noted light misting. You should also check the condition of all four tyres; the MOT history has flagged issues with both cracking/perishing and tread depth being close to the legal limit on this vehicle.
This 2015 beige Renault Captur with the 1.5L diesel engine has covered 63,671 miles, which is significantly higher than the model average of 6,413 miles per year. The vehicle has a mixed MOT history, featuring two years of no defects followed by a 2026 test that flagged several wear-and-tear items. The mileage suggests it has been used more intensively than the typical example in our dataset.
Aggregate data for this model shows an 83.1% MOT pass rate, with common failure points including tyres, headlamps, and anti-roll bars.
