Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle's most recent MOT test on 26 May 2026 shows a pass, but the maintenance trend indicates emerging issues with consumables and corrosion. While the 2025 test recorded no defects, the 2026 record introduces three advisories regarding front brake pad thickness, a corroded front radiator bracket, and an offside rear tyre worn close to the legal limit. This follows a similar advisory for thin front brake pads in the May 2024 test, suggesting a recurring pattern of brake wear. The vehicle has covered 39,658 miles over its ten-year lifespan, averaging approximately 3,966 miles per year. This represents low annual mileage. The records show consistent annual testing from 2021 through 2026, with a gap between the 2019 and 2021 tests. The low mileage profile can sometimes correlate with vehicles that sit idle for extended periods, which may impact components like seals or tyres, though the record does not explicitly confirm this. A prospective buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the braking system, specifically checking the remaining life on the front pads and the condition of the discs. The advisory from May 2026 regarding the corroded front radiator bracket warrants a close look at the engine bay to assess the extent of oxidation and whether it affects mounting stability. The offside rear tyre also requires immediate attention due to its proximity to the legal limit. The 2022 failure is a significant point of interest, where the tester recorded dangerous defects for both nearside and offside front inner tyres having ply or cords exposed. This indicates a period where tyre maintenance was severely neglected. Although the vehicle passed subsequent tests, the recent return of brake and tyre advisories suggests that the current owner must stay proactive to prevent further failures.

Our Verdict

A strong option for buyers seeking a low

Focus your negotiation on the consumables. The MOT history shows front brake pads were flagged as wearing thin in both 2024 and 2026, suggesting they are now due for replacement. Check the service history for evidence of regular oil changes and fuel filter replacements to ensure the 1.5L diesel engine has been kept in order.

Given the very low annual mileage—averaging roughly 4,000 miles per year—you should specifically inquire about how the vehicle was used. Diesel engines used for very short trips can occasionally suffer from diesel particulate filter (DPF) clogging, so evidence of occasional longer motorway runs is a positive sign.

The 1461cc diesel engine is designed for efficiency, typically offering competitive fuel economy for both urban and motorway driving. As a 2016 model, it generally falls into a mid-range insurance group, making it relatively affordable to cover.

Typical maintenance will involve standard servicing and the replacement of wear items like brakes and tyres, as seen in the recent MOT advisories. The estimated annual cost includes fuel, road tax, insurance, and a provision for these routine repairs.

Specifically inspect the front brake pads and the offside rear tyre, both of which were flagged in the May 2026 MOT. You should also examine the front radiator bracket, as corrosion was noted in the most recent test, to determine if it requires a replacement or treatment.

While the model aggregate data highlights headlamps and anti-roll bars as common failure points for the Captur, this specific vehicle has not yet recorded these issues. However, it is still worth checking the anti-roll bar links for any play or noise during a test drive.

This black 2016 Renault Captur has recorded five MOT tests, all of which resulted in a pass. With 39,658 miles on the clock as of May 2026, the vehicle has been used significantly less than the model average. Recent records indicate some wear-and-tear items that require attention to maintain its roadworthiness.

The Renault Captur maintains a respectable average MOT pass rate of 83.2% based on an analysis of 134,419 vehicles.
