2006 Renault Modus Oasis 16v

CarHunch analysed 143 real MOT records for the 2006 Renault Modus Oasis 16v. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

The 2006 Renault Modus Oasis 16V has a first-time pass rate of 77.8%, sitting just below the UK average of 80%, which suggests marginally higher-than-typical maintenance needs. The good news is that none of the 143 vehicles analysed ever recorded a dangerous defect, and advisories are essentially non-existent, so safety-critical issues are rare.

These cars are running at around 79,500 miles on average for their age, which is typical, and when they do fail MOT they average 1.23 failures per vehicle—mostly routine wear items rather than structural problems. If you're considering one, get a pre-purchase inspection focused on suspension and brake components (the most common failure points at this age), but don't expect nasty surprises.

What to check before buying a 2006 Renault Modus Oasis 16v

Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.

  • 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
  • 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
  • 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
  • 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
