Frugal and reasonably priced, the funky Renault Captur small SUV is easy to live with but rather unpolished to drive
What should I look for in a used Renault Captur hatchback?
Many Capturs will have been used in tight car parks and on school and work runs, so it’s worth checking the bodywork for any scuffs. Also, check the alloy wheels for any kerb damage. Check the seat material for any difficult-to-remove marks and the seats’ operation, as well as that of the boot lid.
What are the most common problems with a used Renault Captur hatchback?
The latest Renault Captur is yet to experience any major recalls.
Is a used Renault Captur hatchback reliable?
In the 2023 What Car? Reliability Survey the Captur didn’t perform particularly well, finishing near the bottom of our small SUV leaderboard, above the Kamiq and MG ZS but below all its other key rivals, including the Puma and the T-Roc.
Renault as a manufacturer didn’t perform much better, claiming 23rd place out of the 32 included car makers. That puts it above MG, but below Mini (3rd), Kia (8th), Citroen (14th), Skoda (16th), Ford (17th) and Seat (18th).
Every new Renault comes with a three-year warranty, with no mileage limit for the first two years, but a 60,000 mile limit after that. Compared with the offerings from its peers, that’s fairly par for the course, matching Ford and Skoda, but not Kia’s seven-year warranty. The hybrid versions get an eight-year warranty (with a 100,000-mile limit).
