Known faults for Renault Renault Arkana
Our database tracks 3 specific mechanical faults and recurring failure patterns identified across UK MOT testing stations for this generation.
MOT Roadworthiness: Good
This rating reflects historical MOT pass rates and recurring advisory wear patterns from official DVSA test logs. Note that roadworthiness does not verify outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen records.
Verify lender finance agreements, insurance write-offs, police stolen registers, and mileage rollback.
Common Problems: RENAULT ARKANA
Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.
- E-Tech Hybrid Powertrain Hesitation and Inverter Software Faults(Moderate)
The 1.6-litre E-Tech full-hybrid system uses a clutchless dog-ring multi-mode gearbox and dual electric motors. On 2021 to 2023 cars, owners report noticeable hesitation, driveline snatch, or flat spots when transitioning between EV mode and the petrol engine under acceleration. In severe cases, calibration glitches in the hybrid inverter or temperature sensors trigger warning lights and drop the car into limp-home mode. Renault issued ECU/TCU recalibrations to smooth dog-clutch engagement and resolve false sensor alerts.
- Electric Power Steering Calculator Overheating and ECU Calibration(Moderate)
On early Arkana models built between late 2019 and late 2021, the electronic control calculator for the electric power steering can suffer thermal overload during prolonged low-speed manoeuvring or full-lock parking. Overheating management circuitry causes sudden, temporary loss of power assistance, dramatically increasing steering effort and prompting safety recall DVSA R/2022/045. Remedy requires dealer ECU reprogramming with updated thermal parameters, or full steering column ECU replacement if damaged.
