Pre-MOT Inspection Checklist for Renault Arkana Evolution E-Tech Owners

These checks follow this Renault Arkana Evolution E-Tech's own most-recorded failure strings, starting with what a tester is most likely to flag on a Renault Arkana Evolution E-Tech.

• the tyre tread — “tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm”

  Check all four tyres cold, including the inner shoulder where wear hides — 1.6mm across the central three-quarters is the legal limit, and most testers fail at 1.6mm without argument.

• the suspension joints — “ball joint excessively worn”

  With the car parked on level ground, rock the top of each front wheel in and out while someone watches the suspension arm. Clunks, or rubber boots split and greasy, are what testers record here.

• the lights — “headlamp levelling device inoperative”

  Switch everything on and walk round the car: both headlamps on dip and main, every indicator, both brake lights, reverse, fog and the two number-plate lamps. A bulb is a few pounds and a five-minute job.
