Captur Iconic Dci: a strong MOT record by UK norms
Across 922 MOT tests, the Captur Iconic Dci returns 88.0% first-time pass — comfortably ahead of the UK fleet average. The single most-logged Major fail is a tyre with the cords showing. Worn suspension bushes and tyre tread under the limit round out the top three. Average tested mileage sits at 23,963, which is the lens to read those failure rankings through. If you own one and the next test is close, the ranked list below is a sensible pre-test checklist.
