2010 Renault Modus 1.1L Petrol · HV10 AVU

The most recent MOT on 2025-10-28 recorded two tyre-related issues, with both nearside and offside front outer tyres worn close to legal limits. The nearside front anti-roll bar linkage ball joint showed slight play, a recurring concern seen in earlier MOTs. No major defects were noted, but the tyre wear suggests potential neglect in maintenance or alignment. A failure on 2024-10-29 revealed more severe tyre damage, including exposed ply or cords on both front tyres, which is a safety risk. This indicates a possible escalation in tyre degradation compared to the 2024-10-30 pass, where tyres were only near-limit worn. The same MOT also cited an oil leak and a deteriorated anti-roll bar dust cover, both of which reappeared in later checks. Recurring issues include anti-roll bar joint play and tyre wear, with the 2023 MOT noting reduced shock absorber damping and track rod end play. These suggest gradual suspension wear, though no major faults were recorded in 2022. The 2024-10-29 failure highlights a shift from minor to more critical defects, particularly with tyre integrity. The vehicle’s mileage of 127,860 miles over 16 years aligns with average usage, but the lack of significant variation from 2022 to 2025 (107,682 to 127,860 miles) implies consistent driving patterns.
