Moderate sample. 371 vehicles on record. Figures are indicative — the specific vehicle's history matters more than these averages.

This Captur hybrid is a strong performer: a 94.7% first-time pass rate substantially beats the UK average of 80%, and dangerous defects are rare at just 1.6% of the cohort. Buyers should feel confident about reliability, with minimal failure issues emerging in MOT testing.

These are young, low-mileage cars averaging just over 20,000 miles, so durability at higher mileage remains unproven. The low advisory rate of 0.6 per vehicle suggests the hybrid system and overall build quality are holding up well early on—but before committing, ask the seller for service history to confirm the battery and regenerative braking have been properly maintained.

The 2022 Renault Captur Iconic Ed E Tech HEV A passes its MOT first time more often than most UK vehicles (96.2% vs ~80% average) — and when it does fail, it's usually something minor and cheap to fix.
