Our Verdict
Caution is strongly advised due to very
Given the 188,556 miles, a comprehensive service history is essential to understand how the engine has been managed. Pay close attention to the oil leak and sub-frame corrosion mentioned in the September 2026 test, as these can escalate into costly repairs.
Potential buyers should negotiate the price to account for the immediate need for new front tyres and the likely replacement of the front coil springs. Ensure any recent repairs following the August 2025 failure are documented with invoices.
The 1461cc diesel engine is designed for efficiency, but running costs for this specific vehicle will likely be elevated by its age and mileage. Maintenance expenditure is expected to be higher than average, particularly regarding suspension and braking components, as evidenced by the MOT history.
Annual costs will include diesel fuel, road tax based on the 2013 emissions bracket, and insurance. Due to the high mileage and recorded corrosion, a higher-than-usual budget for preventative maintenance is recommended.
Prioritise a professional inspection of the front sub-frame and coil springs to assess the severity of the corrosion noted in the 2026 MOT. Check the front tyres for wear on the inner edges; this was a cause for failure in 2025 and an advisory in 2026, which may suggest underlying wheel alignment or suspension issues.
Additionally, inspect the engine bay for the oil leak recorded in September 2026 and check the brake pedal for the wear/smoothness noted across multiple MOT tests since 2023. Verify the condition of the windscreen, which has been flagged as damaged in three separate tests.
This 2013 black Renault Captur diesel has covered 188,556 miles, which is substantially above the model average. The MOT history reveals a recurring pattern of tyre wear and brake pedal issues, with the most recent test highlighting sub-frame corrosion and an oil leak. It is a high-mileage example with several wear-and-tear items currently requiring attention.
The Captur has an average MOT pass rate of 83.1%, with aggregate data showing tyres and anti-roll bars as common failure points, both of which are reflected in this vehicle's history.
