What Renault Master failures look like

737,250 Renault Master tests on record carry the manual reference DVSA attaches to each defect. The most frequent problems were with brakes on 354,382 tests (48.1%), with axles, wheels, tyres and suspension on 303,583 tests (41.2%) and with lamps, reflectors and electrical equipment on 224,688 tests (30.5%). A test can fail on more than one thing, and an MOT can be failed on one defect while another is only advised, so these counts do not add up to the number of tests.

Narrowed down from the categories to the individual defects themselves, three come up on more than one test:

  • Tyre worn close to legal limit/worn on edge

    MOT inspection manual reference 5.2.3, in axles, wheels, tyres and suspension

    Recorded on 154,183 of the 737,250 tests: 25,994 failures and 128,189 advisories or minors.

  • Suspension arm pin or bush worn but not resulting in excessive movement

    MOT inspection manual reference 5.3.4, in axles, wheels, tyres and suspension

    Recorded on 122,349 of the 737,250 tests: 33,121 failures and 89,228 advisories or minors.

  • Brake disc worn, pitted or scored, but not seriously weakened

    MOT inspection manual reference 1.1.14, in brakes

    Recorded on 97,354 of the 737,250 tests: 7,805 failures and 89,549 advisories or minors.

Where there is enough data to compare: Renault Clio (4,097,612 tests), Renault Megane (1,593,199 tests), Renault Trafic (1,296,748 tests), Renault Captur (1,168,302 tests), every Renault model (12,879,811 tests).

Clauses are read from the manual reference at the end of every defect on the cached test records, and a defect shown here has to appear on at least two of them before it is named. The site-wide breakdown explains how that works and compares every make.
