2022 Renault Captur RS Line E Tech PHEV A

CarHunch analysed 105 real MOT records for the 2022 Renault Captur RS Line E Tech PHEV A. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

This Captur plug-in hybrid is a strong performer: its 91.3% first-time pass rate sits well above the UK average of 80%, and only 5.7% of vehicles have ever recorded a dangerous defect, which is genuinely reassuring. The data covers 105 vehicles, so you're looking at a meaningful sample of real-world reliability rather than statistical noise.

At just over 21,500 miles median mileage for a 2022 model, these cars haven't been thrashed, and the average of only 0.09 failures per vehicle confirms they're holding up well mechanically. The 0.9 advisories per vehicle suggests minor wear items are emerging rather than systemic problems—if you're buying one, get a pre-purchase inspection to check suspension and brake components, as these typically account for advisory flags on PHEVs this age.

What to check before buying a 2022 Renault Captur RS Line E Tech PHEV 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.
