All vehicles first used in 2016: the 245 models in our data, 2,632,483 tests (98.1% of all 2,684,065 tests on vehicles first used in 2016). Areas with fewer than 50 failures in a model aren't published, so an area is only compared when that leaves the all-vehicles figure at most 10% short; otherwise it shows –.
After an MOT advisory
Brakes
Of 2016 Renault Trafic cars that passed their 2024 MOT with a brake advisory and came back for their next MOT 10–14 months later, 11.4% failed on brakes, against 4.5% of similar cars with nothing noted. Based on 1,003 and 4,231 cars.
Cars not tested again in that window are not included: 12.6% of those with a brake advisory and 13.0% of the others.

Cars not tested again in that window are not included: 14.4% of those with a suspension advisory and 12.6% of the others.
Not enough 2016 Renault Trafic cars with a tyre advisory to show a figure for this year alone.
Similar cars are the same model, first-use year and mileage band. Areas are the DVSA's top-level groups, so the later fail may not be the fault that was advised. These figures describe what happened to these cars. They don't show what a repair would have changed.
