Moderate sample. 360 vehicles on record. Figures are indicative — the specific vehicle's history matters more than these averages.

This 2022 Renault Captur hybrid is a genuinely reliable performer, with a first-time MOT pass rate of 94.3% — well above the UK average of 80% — and only 4.4% of vehicles ever flagged with a dangerous defect, which is reassuringly low. The petrol-hybrid powertrain appears to be holding up soundly so far.

At just under 20,000 miles median and less than one failure per vehicle on average, these are young cars running light, which means real-world durability isn't yet tested. What matters now is that advisories average only 0.8 per car, suggesting the build quality is solid and maintenance schedules are being followed; if you're buying one, check the service history carefully and you should expect trouble-free ownership in the near term.

The 2022 Renault Captur Rive Gauche Etech HEV A passes its MOT first time more often than most UK vehicles (95.9% vs ~80% average) — and when it does fail, it's usually something minor and cheap to fix.
