2016 Renault Captur 1.5L Diesel · SH16 CFD

The Renault Captur presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 6 June 2025 at 71,663 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, following an anomalous failure on the same date and mileage that listed no defects, indicating an administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Prior tests in June 2024 at 64,554 miles, May 2023 at 58,070 miles, and May 2022 at 51,938 miles all passed cleanly with no advisories, showing the vehicle has avoided recurring wear-related failures across its later life. Annual mileage averages around 7,166 miles against a ten-year lifespan, a typical use profile for this 2016 model. The records show steady accumulation: 6,832 miles between the 2022 and 2023 tests, 6,484 between 2023 and 2024, and 7,109 to the 2025 pass. No gaps or sudden jumps appear in the sequence, and the clean sheet across five years suggests the previous keeper kept on top of consumables without formal tester intervention. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc thickness, as the MOT record captures only pass-day condition and silent wear can develop between annual tests. The absence of corrosion or structural advisories is reassuring, but standing moisture exposure can hide sill or subframe rust not visible at test. Given the fault-free history and ordinary mileage, the Captur shows no evidence of deferred upkeep or hard use. Verify the 6 June 2025 failure reason at the DVSA portal, then confirm tyre tread depth and wiper condition in person before purchase.
