Defect rate by model year
The Renault Koleos, a mid-size SUV, first entered the market in 2008, catering to consumers looking for a versatile vehicle with a blend of comfort and functionality. Over the years, the Koleos has garnered a reputation for its spacious interior and practical design. However, when it comes to reliability, the vehicle has displayed a mixed track record, particularly in its earlier models.
Analysis of MOT inspection data reveals that the Koleos from 2008 and 2009 performed significantly worse than the average for their respective years, with defect rates of 413 and 399 per 100 vehicles, compared to averages of 337 and 310. This indicates a reliability deficit of 22.5% and 28.9%, respectively. Common issues during these years included excessively worn suspension components and improper tyre tread depth, which are not unique to the Koleos but suggest a potential area of concern for owners.
In contrast, later models from 2017 to 2019 saw an improvement in reliability. The 2017 Koleos reported a defect rate of 139, just slightly above the average of 134, while the 2018 and 2019 models performed even better, with defect rates of 123 and 109, respectively. These figures indicate a trend of increasing reliability, with issues primarily revolving around tyre wear and brake components—common problems across many vehicles rather than specific to the Koleos.
However, the 2020 model experienced a notable spike in defects, with a rate of 110 compared to the average of 90. This increase could be attributed to similar recurring issues, particularly with tyre and brake components. Despite this setback, the overall trend suggests that Renault has made strides in improving the Koleos's reliability over the years.
