Insight summary

Renault Captur is a common model in this snapshot, with 126,495 represented vehicles and 0.30% of the active UK pool tracked by AutoRank. For the last 5 years, it has a pass rate of 81.2% from 809,431 MOT tests, with a reliability score of 49. The current pool shows an average of 59,768 miles and an average age of 8.9 years, while mature-fleet mileage is estimated at 70,746 miles. Petrol leads the fuel split, followed by diesel, and the most frequent defect themes are tyre condition, suspension joints and parking brake. The practical read is that the Renault Captur looks like a solid used-car baseline rather than a rare find, with age, mileage and common wear items doing most of the explaining.
