Our Verdict
This 2016 Renault Captur diesel shows re
When inspecting this Captur, focus heavily on the underside and front suspension, referencing the MOT test items recorded in 2025 and 2026. Verify that the front radiator cross member support has been properly repaired or replaced following its 2026 failure, and check if the offside front suspension arm bushes have been renewed rather than just monitored. Request a comprehensive service history to confirm whether routine maintenance has kept pace with the vehicle's mileage.
Negotiate on price if there is no documented evidence that the suspension bushes and structural cross member have been professionally addressed. Given the MOT history shows a progression from advisory wear to failure on the suspension arm bush, ensure the steering and handling feel stable during a test drive, listening closely for knocks or play over rough road surfaces.
The 1.4-litre diesel engine in this Captur generally offers strong fuel economy for everyday commuting and longer motorway journeys, helping to keep fuel expenditure manageable. Vehicle Excise Duty (road tax) will depend on the specific CO2 emissions bracket for this 2016 diesel variant, whilst insurance typically falls into a moderate group for crossovers of this size.
Maintenance costs should factor in potential suspension and corrosion-related repairs given the recent MOT history. Budgeting for consumable items like tyres—noting a previous nearside front tyre failure in 2025—is also prudent. The estimated annual running cost sits around £1,100-£1,300, accounting for fuel, tax, insurance, and typical maintenance.
Examine the front radiator cross member support closely for any signs of residual corrosion, poor welding, or inadequate repair work following the May 2026 failure. Inspect the offside front suspension arm and its associated bushes, as wear here has been flagged in both 2025 and 2026 MOT tests.
Check all four tyre treads and sidewalls carefully, keeping in mind the 2025 MOT failure for a nearside front tyre below the legal limit. Additionally, inspect general underbody protection for rust, test all electrical functions, and ensure the diesel engine idles smoothly without excessive smoke or hesitation.
First registered in October 2016, this red Renault Captur features a 1461.0cc diesel engine and has covered 67,523 miles as of its May 2026 test. The vehicle's MOT record reveals recurring suspension bush wear across 2025 and 2026, alongside a structural corrosion failure on the front radiator cross member support. While it holds a valid pass, these documented mechanical items mean the car requires a thorough physical inspection before purchase.
The Renault Captur has an aggregate MOT pass rate of 83.1% across the UK fleet, with common failure points typically involving tyres, headlamps, and anti-roll bars.
