2016 Renault Captur 1.5L Diesel · JD10 JKD

The Renault Captur presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 14 January 2026 at 47,770 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior four annual tests from January 2023 through January 2025 also recorded passes with no advisories or faults. The vehicle shows no worsening mechanical condition and no recurring defects across the observed period. Recorded mileage stands at 47,770 miles for a ten-year-old vehicle, equating to roughly 4,777 miles per year. The DVSA data shows steady low annual use: 38,604 miles on 20 January 2023, 42,035 on 23 January 2024, 44,885 on 24 January 2025, and 47,770 on 14 January 2026. The annual increments of around 3,000 to 3,900 miles confirm light running. A failed test appears on 24 January 2025 at 44,885 miles with no defects listed, suggesting an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault, immediately followed by a clean pass the same day. The clean MOT history gives no cause to suspect active suspension wear, brake binding, exhaust corrosion, or structural integrity issues. Low mileage and a clean record often indicate careful ownership, though prolonged standing can allow perished rubber components and seized calipers to develop unseen. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, brake discs, and underbody corrosion given the vehicle's age. Verify the January 2025 fail reason with DVSA, confirm service history, and check tyres and wiper blades for age-related degradation not captured by the MOT.
