2016 Renault Captur 0.9L Petrol · GU66 ACO

The Renault Captur presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent test on 31 October 2024 at 79,848 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Across the five available MOT entries from 2020 to 2024, the vehicle cleared every examination without advisories or failures. This consistent clean sheet indicates the previous keeper addressed wear proactively and the car has not entered a deterioration cycle. Annual mileage sat well below the class average for a 2016 vehicle. The test on 19 November 2020 logged 26,591 miles, rising to 30,353 by 29 October 2021, then 43,219 on 9 November 2022, 56,081 on 31 October 2023, and 79,848 on 31 October 2024. The final year alone added 23,767 miles after three years of roughly 12,000 to 13,000 annual use, marking a sharp late-stage accumulation rather than a gap or standing period. The sparse record shows no skipped tests, yet the abrupt jump near the end of the timeline warrants a closer look at components stressed by that increased use. No tester ever flagged suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, binding calipers, corrosion, or exhaust emissions issues across the history. The absence of advisories means a buyer cannot infer specific recurring faults from the data. Given the clean MOT trail, physical inspection should still confirm structural integrity underneath the sills and subframes, as ten-year-old Renaults commonly suffer unseen rust where the tester lift time is brief. The 2024 mileage surge suggests the final owner relied on the car far more heavily than prior keepers. We recommend an independent check of tyre tread depth, wiper condition, and fluid intervals, since consumable neglect rarely appears on a pass certificate. The Captur's record supports a sound purchase assuming the in-person view matches the paper trail.
