2016 Renault Captur 1.5L Diesel · SM16 KVW

The Renault Captur presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 23 April 2025 at 45,492 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken four-year sequence of clean MOT results. Annual tests show low and consistent use for a 2016 vehicle. The April 2022 test at 34,838 miles, April 2023 at 39,325, April 2024 at 42,988, and April 2025 at 45,492 trace a steady accumulation of roughly 3,500 to 4,600 miles per year. No gaps or sudden mileage jumps appear in the record. The sparse, fault-free history gives no evidence of deferred consumable replacement or neglected mechanical upkeep. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the clean record. Low annual mileage and probable periods of standing can allow brake calipers to seize, tyres to develop sidewall cracking, and suspension bushes to harden without showing on an MOT. The absence of advisories across all four tests means no corrosion, exhaust, or structural issues were flagged by testers. Given the car's light use, verify underseal condition and check for moisture-related deterioration beneath the sills and wheel arches. Confirm brake disc wear and handbrake efficiency on a road test, as infrequent movement masks binding calipers. The documentary history supports a sound purchase, but hands-on checks remain prudent.
