2016 Renault Captur 1.5L Diesel · PL16 XSN

The Renault Captur presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 24 October 2025 at 73,939 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, though an anomalous failed entry on the same date and mileage shows no listed defects and was evidently corrected by the same-day pass. Across the prior three years the vehicle passed cleanly at each annual test, indicating no recurring advisories or mechanical faults in the official record. Annual mileage sits at a typical level for a 2016 vehicle, averaging roughly 7,394 miles per year against the 73,939 miles recorded. The DVSA data shows steady accumulation: 43,786 miles on 21 October 2022, 54,580 on 26 October 2023, 64,553 on 18 October 2024, and 73,939 on 24 October 2025. The near 9,400-mile gain between October 2023 and October 2024 is the largest single-year step, yet remains within normal bounds. The history is sparse on faults, with no gaps exceeding twelve months between tests. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the clean sheet. The absence of advisories across five tests suggests previous owners kept basic consumables and emissions within limits, but MOT passes do not measure suspension bush wear, coil spring fatigue, or underbody corrosion outside the test scope. Given the car is now ten years old, examine brake discs and calipers for binding, check exhaust hangers and subframe structural integrity for rust, and verify tyre sidewall condition. The duplicate failed-then-passed entry on 24 October 2025 warrants a glance at the DVSA portal for the original failure reason if one appears post-amendment. Otherwise the record implies disciplined upkeep with no worsening pattern, and the Captur remains a sound used purchase subject to a standard pre-sale mechanical check.
