2016 Renault Captur 1.5L Diesel · LM16 AED

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2026-02-25 at 118,705 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend. However, the preceding test on 2026-02-18 at 118,571 miles resulted in a failure despite no defects being listed, suggesting potential technical or procedural discrepancies. Earlier tests from 2025 and 2024 show consistent passing records with no defects, implying the car has generally met roadworthiness standards. The absence of recorded faults in recent years does not confirm mechanical integrity, as failures without defects may relate to non-structural issues like emissions or procedural oversights. The vehicle’s mileage of 118,705 miles aligns with an average annual usage of 11,870 miles over its 10-year lifespan, reflecting typical wear for its age. The 2024-02-20 test at 89,950 miles marked a pass, followed by a failure just three days later at 89,944 miles, a minimal mileage difference that raises questions about the consistency of testing or the vehicle’s condition. Subsequent tests show no recurring defects, but the lack of detailed fault records limits insight into specific mechanical concerns. The sparse data suggests the car has not required significant repairs, though this could also indicate incomplete or inconsistent MOT reporting. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the suspension system, particularly suspension bushes and coil springs, given the vehicle’s age and mileage. Brake components, including calipers and discs, warrant scrutiny due to the high annual mileage, which can accelerate wear. While no structural corrosion or major faults are documented, the absence of detailed defect descriptions in MOT records means hidden issues may exist. A physical inspection is essential to verify the condition of these systems and confirm the vehicle’s compliance with safety standards beyond the recorded tests.
