2016 Renault Captur 1.5L Diesel · LM16 ADX

The Renault Captur presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent MOT test on 28 June 2025 at 65,822 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Prior to this, the July 2024 and July 2023 tests also passed cleanly. The only blemish in the record is a failure on 1 July 2024 at 54,070 miles, reversed two days later on 3 July 2024 at 54,072 miles with a pass and no defects logged. This suggests an administrative or presentation anomaly rather than a substantive mechanical fault, as the retest showed nothing requiring repair. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 6,582 miles per year against the 65,822 miles recorded. The records show steady annual use: 31,648 miles in July 2022, 42,561 miles in July 2023, and 54,072 miles in July 2024. The gap between the July 2024 test and the June 2025 test covers only 11,750 miles, consistent with light-to-moderate commuting. No standing periods or abrupt accumulation spikes are visible in the data. Given the absence of any advisories across five years of testing, the previous keeper maintained the car to a standard that avoided flagged wear on tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, or corrosion. A clean sheet at every pass indicates no recurring consumable neglect or structural risk surfaced through DVSA inspection. A buyer should still commission an independent physical inspection before purchase. The MOT record cannot confirm hidden issues such as degraded coil springs, binding calipers, or underbody rust not yet at test-threshold levels. Verify service history matches the low defect pattern and check brake disc thickness and exhaust emissions manually, as these fall outside MOT pass criteria until worn beyond limits.
