Our Verdict
The 2018 Renault Captur in orange is a low‑mileage vehicle with a clean MOT record, but minor tyre and brake wear noted in recent tests suggest some near‑term maintenance. Proceed if you are comfortable addressing those items and negotiate on any upcoming service costs.
When inspecting the vehicle, verify the condition of the front and rear tyres – the 2025 MOT flagged both front tyres as close to the legal limit, so confirm they have sufficient tread depth or budget for replacement. Check the front brake pads for wear; the 2024 MOT noted they were thin, so ask for a recent brake inspection or factor in the cost of replacement. Review the service history for any recent tyre rotations or brake servicing, as regular maintenance can prevent premature wear.
Negotiating points include asking the seller to replace the front tyres or to provide a discount that covers the cost of new tyres and brake pads. Also, request confirmation that the child seat obstruction noted in the 2022 MOT has been removed, ensuring full access to the adult seat belt for safety compliance. If the seller can supply receipts for recent tyre or brake work, it will strengthen the purchase proposition.
Overall, the Captur’s low mileage and clean MOT record make it a solid candidate, but be prepared for modest maintenance costs in the next 6‑12 months. Ensure the vehicle has a full service history and that any outstanding MOT advisories have been addressed before finalising the deal.
The Captur’s 0.9 L petrol engine typically delivers around 45‑50 mpg in mixed driving, translating to roughly £800‑£900 a year on fuel assuming average UK mileage. It falls into the lower CO2 emissions band, resulting in a modest road tax of about £150 per year. Insurance groups for the 2018 Captur are usually in the mid‑range (group 15‑18), giving an annual premium of roughly £600‑£800 depending on driver profile.
Maintenance on a small Renault SUV is generally affordable, with common service intervals costing between £150‑£250. Adding the tyre and brake pad replacement mentioned earlier may add another £200‑£300 in the short term. Combining fuel, tax, insurance and routine maintenance, the estimated annual running cost sits in the £1,300‑£1,600 range.
Pay particular attention to the front tyres – the 2025 MOT recorded both front tyres as worn close to the legal limit (5.2.3 (e)). Measure tread depth and look for uneven wear that could indicate alignment issues. Also inspect the rear tyre condition, as the same MOT flagged the nearside rear tyre for similar wear.
Examine the front brake system; the 2024 MOT noted the front brake pads were thin (1.1.13 (a) (ii)). Check for any squealing or reduced braking performance and consider a brake pad replacement if the pads are near the minimum thickness. Verify that the child seat obstruction flagged in the 2022 MOT has been removed, ensuring the adult seat belt is fully accessible and functional.
Overall, confirm the vehicle’s service records for any recent tyre rotations, brake servicing, or suspension work. A thorough visual inspection of the suspension components and wheel bearings will also help catch any wear that may not have been captured in the MOT.
This eight‑year‑old Captur has only 68,716 miles, well below the typical mileage for its age, and has passed every MOT without major defects. Recent MOTs highlighted tyre wear on both front wheels and thin front brake pads, which are inexpensive to remedy. The car’s colour and modest mileage make it an attractive option for a first‑time buyer or city driver, provided the buyer checks the condition of the tyres and brakes. Overall, it offers decent value for a compact SUV at a competitive price point.
There is no specific aggregate MOT data for the Renault Captur, but the model is generally regarded as having average reliability for its class.
