Our Verdict
This 2018 Renault Captur is a strong can
When viewing this vehicle, prioritise an inspection of the tyres, as the 2024 MOT identified near-limit wear on the nearside front. Ensure that the service history supports the mileage, as the 898cc engine relies on regular oil changes to maintain longevity. Check that all electrical features, including the infotainment and climate controls, operate as expected, as these are common points of focus for this generation of Captur.
Negotiate based on the condition of the tyres and the proximity of the next scheduled service. Since the vehicle has an under-tray that can obscure inspection, ensure your own mechanic is prepared to remove it during a pre-purchase inspection to verify there are no hidden oil leaks or suspension issues that previous MOT testers may have missed.
The 898cc petrol engine is designed for efficiency, making it relatively economical for urban and mixed-road driving. You should expect competitive fuel consumption figures, though real-world performance will depend on your driving style and load.
Annual costs include Vehicle Excise Duty (VED), insurance, and standard maintenance. Given the vehicle's age and engine size, insurance groups for the Captur are generally moderate. Budget for annual servicing and ensure you have a contingency fund for wear-and-tear items like brake pads and tyres, which are the most common failure points for this model.
Focus your inspection on the front lighting system, as headlamp aim was a specific failure point in 2022. Verify that the beam pattern is correct and that the lenses are not clouded, which can affect visibility and MOT compliance. Inspect the suspension components, particularly the anti-roll bars, which are common areas of wear across the wider Captur model range.
Check the tyre tread depth across all four corners, not just the nearside front, to ensure even wear. Since the 2022 MOT noted an under-tray obstruction, confirm that the tray is currently fitted securely and is not hiding any corrosion or fluid leaks underneath the engine bay.
Registered in April 2018, this white 898cc petrol Captur has covered 37,069 miles over its eight-year life. The MOT history is largely positive, with only one failure recorded in 2022 due to headlamp alignment and an under-tray obstruction. Recent tests in 2023 and 2025 were clear of any defects, indicating a stable recent record.
The Renault Captur generally aligns with industry standards for its class, with headlamp and suspension components being the most frequent areas for MOT-related attention.
