Second Hand Captiva

Chevrolet ceased UK production in Europe (that includes the UK) in December 2015. They are honouring all warrantees and servicing elements. You will also be able to source parts easily. There are plenty of second hand Chevrolet Captiva’s to purchase for a reasonable price.

Purchase Price

The Captiva is one of the cheaper 7-seat MPVs with 4WD available to buy in the UK costing between £19,000 and £27,500. The extended 5-year warranty is also an added bonus. It is likely that more people will hold onto their Captiva only to sell on once the warranty has expired.

Servicing

Without the service cover a full service can cost as little as £108 with £82 for an interim service. A full MOT and service is approximately £150. This figure has been taken from a national discount car service provider so the actual cost may vary locally. And remember with all new models purchased the servicing is included for free in the first 5 years.

The Car Tax Bands (VED Rates) are either 172g/km for the 2.2DSL 163ps 6MT Captiva, 183 g/km for the 2.2DSL 184ps 6MT Captiva or 219 g/km for the 2.2 DSL 184ps 6AT Captiva. This equates to Bands H , I and K. This compares reasonably well bands.

Miles Per Gallon (MPG)

The 2.2DSL 163ps 6MT Captiva manages between 34.4 to 50.4 miles to the Gallon. The less economical but more powerful 2.2DSL 184ps 6MT Captiva can do 33.2 to 47 miles to the gallon. The least economical but most powerful is the 2.2 DSL 184ps 6AT Captiva that achieves between 25.6 and 34 miles to the gallon. In the Captiva Review section the experts opinion of MPG differ from the user reviews. This indicates that actual users aren’t achieving the manufacturer quoted figures.
