Where each one leads
Citroen C3 Picasso
Ahead on none of the like-for-like measures.
Renault Captur
- Against cars of the same age, the Renault Captur comes out better at its first MOT test (passes 1% less often than average) than the Citroen C3 Picasso (passes 7% less often than average).
- Fewer Renault Captur cars in the Netherlands carry an illogical odometer record (2.2% against 2.8%).
Only measures that do not depend on how many cars were sold: pass and failure rates against cars of the same age, ratings, fuel use and CO₂. How we compare
