Is the Chevrolet Captiva ULEZ Compliant?
Based on 7,208 MOT tests, around 2% of Chevrolet Captivas still on the road are likely to meet London's ULEZ standards, and about 96% are likely to be charged. For the remaining 2%, it depends on the exact Euro standard or month of registration.
The fuel mix matters: tested cars were 98% diesel. Diesel Captivas in the data are mostly from years that are unlikely to comply.

How ULEZ rules apply to the Captiva
Cars that miss the standard pay £12.50 for each day they're driven in the zone. Petrol and petrol-hybrid cars need Euro 4 (most from 2006), while diesels need Euro 6 (most from September 2015).
- Diesel (98% of Captivas tested): most cars in our data are from years unlikely to comply.
- Petrol (2% of Captivas tested): every year in our data is likely to comply.
Captivas from 2014 sit on the boundary (2% of those tested): some were built to the required standard before it became compulsory. The Euro standard is sometimes on the V5C logbook, or Chevrolet can confirm it. Our ULEZ calculator can help.

Buying a used Chevrolet Captiva for London: what the MOT data shows
The Chevrolet Captivas in this data were first registered between 2007 and 2014. 2010 was the most common year, with 1,829 tests (25% of the total), and half were registered in 2010 or later.
Captivas from likely-compliant years passed their MOT first time 51% of the time, at an average of 107,440 miles. Older ones likely to be charged passed 53% of the time with 99,835 miles on average.
Whichever year you choose, check the Captiva's weak spots. The most common MOT failures were lights and electrics: "not working" (13.4% of tests) and "not working on dipped beam" (5.1%); suspension: "pin or bush excessively worn" (5.9%). The most frequent advisory was "tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm", on 22.8% of tests.
Overall, 53% of Captivas passed first time, well below the 71% average for all cars, and they had covered 99,516 miles on average, more than the 73,145-mile average.
