Renault Captur Mk2 (2019–2025): what fails at MOT
Across 23,244 MOT tests of the Renault Captur Mk2 (2019–2025) in the DfT's 2023 MOT data (initial tests, retests excluded), 9.9% failed — about 1 in 10. The parts that fail most are tyres (3.2% of tests), wipers, windscreen and mirrors (2.3%), lights and electrics (2.0%), brakes (1.8%) and suspension (1.1%).
Allowing for age and mileage, the Captur Mk2 has 8% fewer MOT failures than the average car of the same age and mileage. That puts it first of the two Renault Captur generations on MOT results.
The MOT checks safety and emissions items — brakes, suspension, steering, lights, tyres, body structure and exhaust emissions. It does not test engines, gearboxes or most electronics, so those faults only show up here when they cause an emissions failure or a leak.
