Our Verdict
Proceed with caution due to recent struc
Your primary focus should be the 2025 MOT advisory concerning a corroded front subframe attachment. This is a structural component, and you should ask the seller for evidence that this has been addressed or seek a specialist's opinion on the severity of the corrosion. Do not assume a 'Pass' means the subframe is in good condition.
Additionally, check the service history to ensure the 2023 coil spring failure was properly repaired. While the 898cc engine is economical, ensure the vehicle has been serviced regularly, as small-capacity turbocharged engines can be sensitive to maintenance gaps. Negotiate the price downwards if the subframe issue is significant or requires upcoming costly repairs.
The 898cc petrol engine is designed for economy, likely placing this vehicle in a lower insurance group and tax band compared to larger SUVs. Fuel economy should be reasonable for urban driving, though performance may feel limited on motorways.
Maintenance costs for this model typically involve standard wear-and-tear items like tyres and brakes. However, be prepared for potential costs related to suspension components, given the recorded coil spring failure. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and basic maintenance, sit in the mid-range for a small petrol crossover.
Prioritise a thorough inspection of the front subframe. Because the 2025 MOT flagged a corroded attachment, you should look for signs of surface rust versus deeper structural decay. A mechanic should ideally inspect this on a lift to assess the extent of the degradation.
Check the rear suspension area as well; although the fractured coil spring was noted in 2023, it is worth verifying that the replacement was high quality and that no other suspension components show signs of excessive wear. Finally, inspect the registration plate, as the 2025 MOT noted deterioration, which may require a simple replacement to ensure full compliance.
This 2013 Renault Captur features a small 898cc petrol engine and has covered 57,543 miles as of September 2025. The MOT history shows a generally consistent record with no defects in 2022 and 2024, but it has faced issues including a fractured rear coil spring in 2023 and recent corrosion concerns. The mileage is notably lower than the model average of 6,398 miles per year.
Aggregate data for this model shows an 83.2% MOT pass rate, with common failures often relating to headlamps, anti-roll bars, and tyres.
