2016 Renault Captur 1.5L Diesel · YE16 ADU

The Renault Captur presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 15 November 2025 at 67,189 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean annual examinations since 2021. No advisories or failures appear across the five-year MOT history, indicating the vehicle has not required rectification of suspension bushes, brake discs, exhaust emissions, or structural corrosion at any point in the recorded period. Annual mileage has remained consistent and low for a ten-year-old vehicle. The tester logged 50,128 miles on 27 November 2021, rising to 54,210 by 18 November 2022, 58,424 on 23 November 2023, 62,947 on 25 November 2024, and 67,189 on 15 November 2025. That equates to roughly 4,000 miles per year, below the 6,719 average implied by the age, and the steady year-on-year increments show no gaps or sudden accumulation. The sparse but clean record suggests light use and a prior owner who kept the car serviced to a standard that avoided MOT flags. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the clean paper trail. Light annual mileage often masks degraded rubber components such as suspension bushes and door seals through age rather than wear, and standing periods can encourage underbody corrosion not yet visible to the tester. We would advise checking coil springs, brake caliper operation after idle spells, and the condition of tyres which may show sidewall cracking from age despite adequate tread. The absence of recorded advisories means no recurring mechanical fault pattern exists to track. The previous keeper clearly addressed consumables before each test rather than allowing minor defects to accumulate. Treat the Captur as a low-risk purchase on the evidence of its MOT history, subject to confirmation of service records and a visual check for age-related deterioration.
