2022 Renault Arkana S Edition E-Tech HEV A 1.6L Hybrid electric · BD72 ECC

The most recent MOT on 2025-11-03 resulted in a pass , but the vehicle had recurring tyre wear issues . Both front inner tyres were recorded as "worn close to legal limit/worn on edge" (5.2.3 (e)), indicating excessive wear on the inner edges. This suggests potential alignment problems, improper inflation, or aggressive driving habits. The same defect was noted in an earlier MOT on 2025-10-29, which resulted in a failure . The failure also included a front windscreen wiper that did not clear the windscreen effectively (3.4 (b) (ii)), a separate but safety-critical issue. The pattern of tyre wear recurring across two MOTs implies a persistent underlying problem. While the 2025-11-03 MOT passed, the fact that the same defect was still present raises concerns about whether corrective actions (e.g., alignment checks, tyre rotation, or replacement) were properly addressed. The windscreen wiper failure in the earlier MOT indicates a potential oversight in maintenance, as this is a straightforward repair. The vehicle’s mileage of 24,222 miles over four years (approximately 6,056 miles per year) is within the typical range for its age. This suggests neither extreme under-use nor heavy daily wear, but it does not rule out localized stress on components like tyres due to driving conditions or maintenance practices.
