Our Verdict
A sensible purchase for those seeking a
Given the recent MOT advisories regarding brake discs and pads at 38,075 and 43,516 miles, you should negotiate on the cost of a front brake service. Check if the discs and pads were actually replaced following the 2026 MOT or if they remain in the 'worn/pitted' state noted by the tester.
Ask the seller for evidence of regular oil changes, as diesel engines of this era require consistent maintenance to prevent issues with the diesel particulate filter (DPF). While the MOT history is clean of major failures, always verify that the service intervals have been met to support the low mileage recorded.
The 1461cc diesel engine is typically efficient for motorway driving, though fuel economy will vary based on urban usage. As a 2016 diesel, buyers should be mindful of potential ULEZ or Clean Air Zone charges depending on their location.
Maintenance costs for the Captur are generally moderate, but you should budget for the replacement of tyres and brake components, which have appeared in recent MOT records. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and maintenance, are approximately £1,100-£1,400.
Focus your physical inspection on the front braking system. The MOT history specifically highlights pitted or scored brake discs and low inner brake pads on both the nearside and offside fronts in the 2025 and 2026 tests. Ensure these have been addressed.
Additionally, check the condition of the tyres. Although the 2022 MOT recorded cracking/perishing on the rear tyres, you should inspect all four tyres currently on the vehicle for uneven wear or age-related degradation. Finally, check for any signs of suspension wear, as anti-roll bars are a common failure point for this model aggregate.
This 2016 orange Renault Captur has covered 43,516 miles, which is significantly lower than the model average of 6,413 miles per year. The MOT history shows a pattern of brake disc and pad wear in the most recent two tests, but no major mechanical failures have been recorded. It represents a low-mileage example of the 1.5L diesel variant.
Aggregate data for this model shows an 83.1% MOT pass rate, with common issues relating to tyres, headlamps, and anti-roll bars.
