2016 Renault Captur 1.5L Diesel · MW16 OKV

The 2016 Renault Captur currently holds a strong roadworthiness rating, having passed its MOT in May 2025 at 32,075 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance history indicates a stable trend over the past three years; notably, the second and third failed tests on the same date (May 12, 2023) were both conducted at 26,273 miles, suggesting a consistent lack of aggressive maintenance during this period. The mileage accumulation is relatively low for an older vehicle, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per year, which is consistent with a car that has been used for roughly 10 years. There are no gaps in the record that would indicate a significant drop-off in usage or a sudden acceleration of wear. The consistent passing of the test in May 2025, followed by the same date in 2023, reinforces that the vehicle has maintained its mechanical integrity without the need for frequent oil changes or brake inspections. A buyer should inspect the vehicle in person to verify the condition of the suspension and brakes, as the MOT records do not explicitly list these components. While the MOT passes, the history of two failures suggests that the brakes may have been tightened or serviced less frequently than necessary, which could lead to premature wear if not checked. A thorough visual inspection of the wheel bearings, suspension bushings, and brake calipers is required to confirm that these mechanical risks have been addressed.
