Renault Modus MOT: quick answers

What is the Renault Modus first-time MOT pass rate?

50.1% of first attempts passed in 2024 (12,021 tests). Retests after repair are excluded; cars fixed at the test centre (PRS) are shown separately.

Why does this number differ from other sites?

Other sites may count retests or all attempts. This page uses 12,021 primary tests: 49.87% failed first time and 57.8% passed when cars fixed at the test centre (PRS) count as passes. The age-adjusted MOT Risk Index 118.6 is shown separately.
