Our Verdict
A strong recommendation for buyers seeki
When purchasing this vehicle, focus on the service history of the 1.46L dCi engine to ensure oil changes and filter replacements have been performed at the correct intervals. Given the age and diesel nature of the car, verify if the timing belt replacement interval is approaching.
You should use the most recent MOT advisories as a negotiation point. The August 2026 test explicitly noted that both the nearside and offside front tyres are worn close to the legal limit, meaning a pair of new front tyres will be required immediately.
The dCi diesel engine is designed for fuel efficiency, making it a cost-effective choice for those with higher annual mileage. As a Euro 6DG compliant vehicle, it meets modern emissions standards, which helps keep road tax and potential urban access charges manageable.
Insurance for the S Edition trim is typically moderate, and maintenance costs for the 1.5L engine are generally predictable. Including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine servicing, the estimated annual running cost is approximately £1,100-£1,400.
Prioritise an inspection of the front tyres; the 2026 MOT record indicates they are worn on the edges and close to the legal limit. You should also check that the offside registration plate lamp has been repaired following the August 2026 advisory.
While this specific car has no recorded failures, aggregate data for the Captur shows common failure points in the service brakes and suspension arms. It is advisable to check for any unusual knocks from the suspension during a test drive and ensure the brakes feel firm and responsive.
This white 2020 Renault Captur S Edition dCi has covered 40,567 miles since its first registration in September 2020. It has passed all four of its MOT tests, with the most recent August 2026 check noting minor tyre wear and a lighting issue. Its current mileage is lower than the model average of 8,384 miles per year.
Based on aggregate data from 182 vehicles, this model has a strong average MOT pass rate of 91.0%.
