How many Renault Capturs are still on the road in Great Britain, how many are declared off the road, how new registrations have changed and which fuels they use. Built from DVLA licensing records and 162,347 DVSA MOT tests.
There were 190,387 Renault Capturs licensed in Great Britain at the end of March 2026, and a further 1,611 declared off the road (SORN). That is the most on the road at any year end since 2013.
Numbers are still rising: the latest count is the highest in this series.

In 2025, 76.0% of Renault Captur MOT tests were passed first time, against 72.8% for all cars. Cars of the same ages as the Renault Capturs tested pass 78.6% of the time, so the Renault Captur does worse than average for its age, by 2.6 points. In 2024 its pass rate was 77.8%.
Comparing like with like: each bar pair covers cars of the same age, so an older average age does not count against a model.

Suspension is the most common reason a Renault Captur fails its MOT, appearing on 37.0% of failed tests. A failed test can have defects in more than one category, so shares add up to more than 100%. 6.1% of Renault Captur tests found at least one dangerous defect, against 7.3% for all cars.

The single most common reason a Renault Captur failed its MOT in 2025 was “Suspension arms: ball joint excessively worn”, on 12.8% of 38,930 failed tests. 45.2% of tests ended with at least one advisory, a problem to watch that did not fail the test; the most common was “Tread depth: worn close to legal limit or worn on edge”. The same fault on any wheel or side counts once.

United Kingdom figures from DfT table VEH0220 (licensed cars at the end of each year, SORN excluded), so they differ slightly from the Great Britain counts elsewhere on this page. How we use engine sizes.
The Vehicle Certification Agency’s new car data lists the Renault Captur from 2013, and still lists it. On the WLTP test (listings 2021 to 2026), official combined fuel economy for its petrol, diesel and petrol hybrid versions ranges from 42.8 to 65.7 mpg, with CO2 of 97 to 149 g/km; plug-in hybrid versions are rated at 176.6 to 217.3 mpg (weighted). On the older NEDC test (listings 2013 to 2018), official combined fuel economy for its petrol and diesel versions ranges from 50.4 to 78.5 mpg, with CO2 of 95 to 127 g/km.

DVSA lists 9 safety recalls for the Renault Captur since 1992, the first in 2015. The most recent was launched on 4 December 2025.
All 9 Renault Captur recalls, with defects, remedies and build dates
A recall applies to cars built on particular dates or with particular VINs, not to every Renault Captur. The details come from manufacturers through DVSA, which says they may be delayed or incomplete. To check a specific car, use GOV.UK’s vehicle recall check or ask the manufacturer or a dealer.
