What to check before buying a 2022 Arkana S E- Hev A

Before buying a 2022 Renault Arkana S E- Hev A, focus on the areas it most often fails on. Visibility accounted for 6.3% of tests for this year.

Tyres (4.6% 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.
Lighting & signalling (0.9% of tests): Often a cheap bulb, but persistent issues can mean wiring or corrosion in the units. Typical repair: £10–£150.
