2016 Renault Captur 1.5L Diesel · HW16 KCX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 28 January 2026 at 138,310 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record shows a consistent pattern of immediate failure followed by a retest. In both 2025 and 2026, the car failed the initial inspection but passed on the same day after rectification. This suggests the owner addresses specific MOT failures promptly, such as bulbs, wipers, or minor mechanical adjustments, rather than allowing defects to persist. The mileage profile indicates high annual usage for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 13,800 miles per year. Between January 2024 and January 2025, the car covered 18,011 miles, followed by another 14,144 miles in the subsequent year leading to the January 2026 test. This consistent, high-mileage pattern suggests motorway driving, which often results in less mechanical wear on drivetrain components compared to short-trip city driving, but it places significant load on the suspension, tyres, and exhaust system. While the most recent tests show no recorded advisories, the high mileage necessitates a physical inspection of wear-heavy components. A buyer should check the condition of the suspension bushes and control arm ball joints, which often degrade around the 130,000-mile mark. Given the usage, evaluating the brake discs for thinning and the calipers for binding is essential, alongside an inspection of the exhaust system for structural corrosion to ensure the high mileage has not compromised the underbody integrity of the chassis.
