2022 Renault Arkana Rs Line E- Hev — MOT failures & pass rate
3,610 MOT tests on the 2022 Renault Arkana Rs Line E- Hev are in this dataset, and 92.3% of them passed. That is effectively the same as all cars of a similar age (8.1% fail rate), so the MOT record here is unremarkable in either direction. Failures cluster in visibility, tyres and brakes.
What the MOT record shows
No single area dominates — visibility (4.2%) and tyres (4.2%) are close, so failures are spread across several systems rather than one weak point.
At component level the recurring items are wipers, headlamp aim and tread depth — wipers alone was recorded 179 times.
Condition tracks the odometer closely. Failures run at 6.6% in the 0-30k band and 13.6% in the 60-90k band, a 7.0-point spread — more than double.
Tyres is the most common advisory, noted on 23.6% of tests — work that passed today but is likely due soon.

What to check before buying a 2022 Arkana Rs Line E- Hev
The failure pattern for this year is specific enough to inspect against: visibility accounted for 4.2% of tests. Start there.
- Visibility (4.2% of tests): Wipers, washers, mirrors and screen damage — usually inexpensive, but check for chips in the driver's line of sight. Typical repair: £15–£150.
- Tyres (4.2% of tests): Usually a quick, known-cost fix, but check tread, age and uneven wear (which can hint at alignment or suspension issues). Typical repair: £50–£120 per tyre.
- Brakes (1.0% of tests): Pads/discs are routine wear; binding, imbalance or corroded pipes are more serious — test for pulling under braking. Typical repair: £100–£350 per axle.
Repair costs are rough UK ballpark ranges to set expectations, not quotes — actual prices vary widely by car, parts and garage.
