What Renault Twingo failures look like

12 Renault Twingo tests recorded on MOTindex carry the manual reference DVSA attaches to each defect. The most frequent problems were with axles, wheels, tyres and suspension on 6 tests (50.0%), with visibility on 4 tests (33.3%) and with lamps, reflectors and electrical equipment on 1 test (8.3%). 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.
