Renault Captur Iconic Dci: MOT pass rate and reliability data

The Renault Captur Iconic Dci passes its MOT first time more often than the average UK car, by 10.8 percentage points. These figures come from the DVSA's full year of anonymised MOT results, covering 983 individual Renault Captur Iconic Dci tests. Nothing here is an estimate or a survey.

The numbers

What this means if you are buying one

A 87.5% first-time pass rate means roughly 13 in every 100 Renault Captur Iconic Dcis presented for MOT fail on the first attempt. That is better than average, so a well-kept example is a reasonably safe used buy. The average Renault Captur Iconic Dci tested had covered 30,331 miles and was built around 2020.

What this means at salvage auction

Pass rate is a proxy for what a car costs to keep on the road. On a Renault Captur Iconic Dci bought as a repairable salvage, the mechanical side is less likely to spring surprises, so your repair estimate should hold up reasonably well.

Before you bid: run the lot through the analyzer, check the car's own record, check the mileage, decode the VIN, and if it carries a marker use the write-off value calculator. Or compare it against another model.

Looking at a specific Renault Captur Iconic Dci rather than the model in general?
