Known faults for Reliant Reliant Robin
Our database tracks 4 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: RELIANT ROBIN
Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.
- Aluminium Engine Cylinder Head Gasket Failure(Moderate)
Reliant's bespoke 748cc and 848cc all-aluminium overhead valve engines feature wet cylinder liners and an alloy cylinder head. If owners neglect the corrosion-inhibiting coolant mixture or let the radiator silt up, electrolytic corrosion attacks the head face and water jackets. This leads to cylinder head warpage and blown head gaskets, allowing combustion gases into the cooling jacket and coolant into the sump oil.
- Single Front Wheel Kingpin and Headstock Bush Wear(Moderate)
The single front wheel configuration places all lateral steering forces and front braking loads through a single front suspension arm, kingpin, and steering headstock. The brass bushes and kingpins require periodic grease gun servicing every 1,000 to 3,000 miles. Neglected lubrication causes rapid ovality wear, inducing severe front-end steering shudder, vague directional stability, and uneven tyre wear.
