The Renault Arkana is a compact SUV that has gained attention for its stylish design and practical features. Launched in 2021, the Arkana aims to combine the benefits of an SUV with the aesthetics of a coupe, catering to a growing market segment that values both form and function. As the model progresses through its production years, assessing its reliability through MOT inspection data provides valuable insights for prospective buyers.
In general, the Arkana has shown a mixed performance in terms of reliability compared to the average vehicles of the same model years. In 2021, the Arkana recorded 72 defects per 100 tests, which is an improvement of 8% compared to the average of 79 defects for that year. However, this trend reversed in 2022, where it had 77 defects per 100, exceeding the average of 70 defects by 10%. A significant improvement was observed in 2023, with only 28 defects reported per 100 tests, outperforming the average of 36 defects by a notable 22%.
Recurring issues across the years primarily involve tyre and brake-related concerns, which are common across various vehicle models. In 2021 and 2022, the most frequent defects included tyre tread depth violations and brake components that were insecure or worn. By 2023, while tyre issues continued to be reported, the focus shifted slightly with the emergence of headlamp alignment problems and worn suspension components.
