2016 Renault Captur 1.5L Diesel · GC65 PSO

The vehicle currently holds a stable roadworthiness status, having achieved clean passes in its most recent tests in February 2026 at 67,820 miles. This reflects an improving maintenance trend following a minor failure in early 2024. The absence of any advisories in the last two tests suggests that the current owner has proactively addressed identified issues and maintained the vehicle to passing standards. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,800 miles per year. Between February 2024 and February 2026, the car covered 30,262 miles, indicating a recent increase in usage compared to the previous year where only 4,000 miles were recorded. This steady usage is generally beneficial for mechanical components, as it ensures seals remain lubricated and parts are regularly exercised, preventing the corrosion or seal failure often associated with long periods of inactivity. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front braking system, as the February 2024 test flagged worn front discs. While the vehicle passed the subsequent tests, a manual check of pad thickness and disc condition is advisable to ensure no uneven wear or glazing has developed. The previous failure of the tyre pressure monitoring system and windscreen wipers indicates that these areas were once neglected, so these components should be verified for full functionality and lack of perished rubber. Given the age of the Renault Captur, a close inspection of the suspension bushes and coil springs is necessary. Although the MOT record does not currently flag structural corrosion, the transition to higher annual mileage puts more stress on rubber-to-metal joints and underbody components. The overall history suggests a vehicle that has been well-maintained, provided the buyer continues the diligence seen in the most recent clean MOT returns.
