Renault Trafic: visibility MOT failures
Of the 672,424 Renault Trafic MOT tests in this dataset, 5.6% recorded at least one visibility failure. It shows up most on 1986 and 1988 cars.
Wipers, washers, mirrors and screen damage — usually inexpensive, but check for chips in the driver's line of sight. Typical repair cost: £15–£150 (rough UK ballpark, not a quote).
