2016 Renault Captur 1.5L Diesel · SW16 ACU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. It passed its most recent MOT on 17 February 2026 at 130,933 miles with no defects recorded. This clean pass follows a consistent pattern of successful tests over the last three years, suggesting the car is being kept in a condition that meets minimum legal safety standards. The mileage is high for a ten year old vehicle, averaging roughly 13,093 miles per year. There has been a significant increase in usage recently, with 13,654 miles added between the February 2025 test at 117,279 miles and the February 2026 test at 130,933 miles. This high annual accumulation increases the likelihood of accelerated wear on the drivetrain and chassis components. The MOT record is unusually clean, showing no recorded defects or advisories across multiple years. While the vehicle failed its tests on 15 February 2024 and 18 February 2025, the records do not specify the reasons for these failures. This lack of detail makes it difficult to identify recurring mechanical weaknesses or a history of neglected repairs. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on high wear items common to high mileage Renault Capturs. Check the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for excessive wear. Given the mileage, a thorough check for underside corrosion and a review of the service history for timing belt and water pump replacements is essential to ensure the engine's long term reliability.
