Insight summary

Renault Koleos is a very rare model in this snapshot, with 2,910 represented vehicles and 0.01% of the active UK pool tracked by AutoRank. For the last 5 years, it has a pass rate of 77.1% from 22,586 MOT tests, with a reliability score of 47. The current pool shows an average of 87,890 miles and an average age of 10.7 years, while mature-fleet mileage is estimated at 121,927 miles. Diesel leads the fuel split, followed by petrol, and the most frequent defect themes are engine warning light, track rod ends and lighting. The practical read is that the Renault Koleos looks like a solid used-car baseline rather than a rare find, with age, mileage and common wear items doing most of the explaining.
