2016 Renault Captur 1.5L Diesel · AX16 DZC

The roadworthiness status of this Renault Captur is currently compliant, following a test on January 9, 2026, at 109,145 miles where it passed immediately after a previous failure. The maintenance trend leans slightly concerning regarding electrical upkeep, as the vehicle failed its initial January 2026 test due to completely non-working stop lamps before passing the following day. Minor electrical neglect also appears previously, highlighted by an inoperative offside registration plate lamp noted in both January 2024 at 98,762 miles and January 2023 at 92,368 miles. Mileage accumulation proceeds at a remarkably steady pace of roughly 8,000 to 10,000 miles annually, matching normal driving habits for a vehicle of this age. The record shows no suspicious gaps or periods of prolonged storage, moving logically from 60,877 miles in January 2019 up to the current odometer reading of 109,145 miles recorded in January 2026. This consistent usage indicates the mechanical drivetrain has experienced regular operation without being subjected to extreme long-distance commuting or damaging inactivity. Prospective buyers must thoroughly inspect the rear lighting electrical circuits, given the simultaneous failure of all stop lamps and the recurring registration plate bulb faults logged across consecutive years. The January 2026 test also noted a minor engine oil leak, so a physical check under the bonnet on a ramp is essential to determine the exact source and severity of the fluid loss. Consumable items require careful scrutiny as well, particularly given past advisories such as the offside front tyre wearing close to the legal limit during the January 2024 test.
