2016 Renault Captur 1.5L Diesel · JO04 THA

This Renault Captur has demonstrated a stable roadworthiness record over the past five years, with no recurring defects or advisories recorded in any of its MOT tests. The most recent test on 2025-09-19 confirmed the vehicle passed without fail, following an identical result in 2024 and 2023. The single failure on 2025-09-18—unusually noted at the same mileage as the subsequent pass—appears anomalous and likely procedural rather than indicative of mechanical issues, as no defects were logged. This consistency suggests the vehicle has been maintained at a baseline standard, though the lack of advisories means no proactive repairs or wear items were flagged by testers. The mileage progression of approximately 7,900 miles annually aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, with no abrupt spikes or prolonged inactivity. The gap between tests remains standard at one year, and the recorded mileage at each test (60,766 in 2022, 67,271 in 2023, 73,935 in 2024, and 79,180 in 2025) shows a steady, predictable increase. There is no evidence of excessive wear or neglect, though the absence of advisories also means no documented attention to high-wear components like suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake calipers. Given the lack of recorded defects, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of suspension components—particularly the rear bushes and coil springs—due to the vehicle’s age and mileage. Binding brakes, while not flagged in tests, are a common concern in Capturs with this mileage, so the condition of rear calipers, brake discs, and hydraulic lines should be closely examined. Corrosion at wheel arches, subframe, and exhaust mounts is another critical area, as it often develops silently and compromises structural integrity. Finally, the absence of advisories on tyres suggests they may not have been rotated or replaced according to best practice, so tread depth and even wear patterns should be verified.
