Renault Captur Dynamique S Nav DCI A (2016)
2016 Renault Captur Dynamique S Nav DCI A
CarHunch analysed 105 real MOT records for the 2016 Renault Captur Dynamique S Nav DCI A. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
This 2016 Renault Captur is a real concern at the MOT box: just 53.8% pass on first attempt versus the UK average of 80%, meaning more than four in ten fail and need repairs. The good news is that dangerous defects haven't shown up in this cohort, so failures are fixable rather than safety-critical.
At 43,389 miles median, these cars are relatively low-mileage for their age, yet they're still failing at nearly double the national rate—suggesting design or build quality issues rather than wear-and-tear problems. Before buying one, insist on a thorough pre-purchase inspection and budget for likely repair work, because the statistics say this model needs extra attention to pass its next test.
What to check before buying a 2016 Renault Captur Dynamique S Nav DCI A
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
