Our Verdict
Exercise significant caution before purc
If you proceed with a purchase, you should negotiate the price downwards to account for the recent pattern of component wear. Focus your inspection on the underside of the vehicle; the 2025 and 2026 MOTs specifically highlighted corroded shock absorbers, radiator brackets, and deteriorating dust covers on anti-roll bar linkages and suspension arms.
Ask the seller for evidence of recent work related to these specific failures. Ensure that the 'severely deteriorated' dust covers noted in the June 2026 test have been replaced with new parts, rather than just being lubricated or inspected. Given the 2025 failure regarding parking brake efficiency, test the handbrake thoroughly on a slope to ensure it meets legal requirements.
As a 1.5L diesel model, this Captur is likely to offer decent fuel economy for motorway driving, though high mileage may lead to increased maintenance costs for diesel-specific components like the DPF.
Tax and insurance groups for this engine size are typically moderate, but you should confirm the exact band for this specific registration. Expect higher-than-average maintenance costs in the short term due to the recent trend of suspension and tyre replacements seen in the MOT history.
Prioritise a thorough inspection of the front suspension system. The MOT history explicitly mentions issues with both the anti-roll bar linkage ball joint dust covers and the suspension arm ball joint dust covers. Check for any signs of play in the steering or unusual knocking sounds when driving over bumps.
Additionally, inspect the front tyres and the condition of the shock absorbers. The 2025 MOT recorded both front shockers as corroded and tyres as being worn close to the legal limit. Check that the radiator holder/bracket, which was noted as corroded in 2025, is secure and not showing signs of further structural degradation.
This 2016 orange Renault Captur has covered 107,675 miles, which is significantly higher than the model average of 6,398 miles per year. The MOT history shows a transition from a clean record in 2023 and 2024 to several failures and advisories in 2025 and 2026, specifically concerning suspension components and tyres. The vehicle's high mileage and recent mechanical defects present a higher-than-average risk for a buyer.
Aggregate data for this model shows an 83.2% MOT pass rate, with common failure points including headlamps, anti-roll bars, and tyres.
