Every MOT failure a tester records belongs to one inspection section of the DVSA manual. For the Renault G-Modus Dynamique Vvt, the Lamps, reflectors and electrical equipment section leads the record — the breakdown below shows where the recorded failures cluster, then the exact strings behind the three biggest sections.
| Inspection section | Share of failures |
|---|---|
| Lamps, reflectors and electrical equipment | 52% |
| Suspension | 30% |
| Brakes | 14% |
| Noise, emissions and leaks | 3% |
Shares are over the Renault G-Modus Dynamique Vvt's recorded defect strings, merged across its year pages.

| 2010 G-Modus Dynamique Vvt | 62 | 74.2% |
| 2008 G-Modus Dynamique Vvt | 60 | 63.3% |
Newest model year first. Only years with at least 50 recorded tests are listed.
These checks follow this Renault G-Modus Dynamique Vvt's own most-recorded failure strings, starting with what a tester is most likely to flag on a Renault G-Modus Dynamique Vvt.
the coil springs — “coil spring fractured or broken”
Look up inside each wheel arch with a torch, all the way round the spring. A snapped spring usually breaks at the very bottom coil, where a quick glance will not reach.
the lights — “position lamp not working”
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.
the brakes — “brake discs significantly and obviously worn”
Look through the spokes of each wheel at the pad — less than 3mm of friction material, or a lip on the disc edge, is the usual failure. Check the handbrake holds on a slope with a few clicks, not at the top of its travel.
Derived from the DVSA failure strings testers recorded for the Renault G-Modus Dynamique Vvt. A check that finds nothing means the item is likely fine, not that the test is guaranteed.
