If a Renault Koleos fails, does it fail again?

Renault Koleos models that fail once are much more likely to fail again: 36.2% failed the next MOT after a fail, against 24.8% after a pass (test chains 2019–2024). The failure most likely to come back is ‘lamps, reflectors and electrical equipment’: 40.5% of those fails recurred at the next MOT.
