2023 Renault Arkana Evolution TCE Mhev Auto 1.3L Petrol · YC23 XMD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT test on March 27, 2026, at 10,750 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable as there are no major mechanical or structural failures recorded in the history. While the car passed all primary safety checks, the tester identified specific advisories regarding tyre condition that require attention to prevent future failures or a compromise in grip. At 10,750 miles over three years, the Renault Arkana has averaged approximately 3,583 miles per year. This low mileage is significantly below the national average and suggests the vehicle has been used for short journeys or remained stationary for extended periods. While low mileage generally indicates less wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, infrequent use often leads to the premature degradation of rubber-based parts due to lack of regular mechanical exercise. A buyer must physically inspect the tyres, as the March 2026 test flagged cracking and perishing on the nearside front, nearside rear, and offside rear tyres. These defects are typical of low-mileage vehicles that sit idle, causing the rubber to perish before the tread is depleted. Inspection should also focus on the brake discs for corrosion or pitting, as infrequent use can allow surface rust to build up if the rotors are not regularly cleaned. Checking the suspension bushes for cracking is also advisable to ensure the low mileage has not masked age-related decay of rubber components.
