Based on 11 MOT tests from 2 vehicles analysed by VehicleScore. That sample is too small to describe recurring problems, so this page does not list model-specific faults.
RENAULT R5 MOT reliability by year
A model year is only commented on when VehicleScore has at least 5 vehicles from that year.
Not enough VehicleScore data for year-by-year conclusions.
Buying a RENAULT R5?
Common problems tell you what can affect RENAULT R5s generally. VehicleScore can check the history of the actual car you're considering.
Where does this data come from?
VehicleScore analyses MOT histories from vehicles in its own dataset. Sample sizes vary by model, and a small sample is labelled as such. MOT data records roadworthiness and inspection defects. It does not capture every mechanical or electronic problem a car can have, and a comment on one test is not proof that the model has an inherent fault.
