The essentials.

1 documented, sourced fault for its engine.
That is not much data: if no other faults show up here, it does not mean it has none.
It only applies with certain equipment or production dates: ask what this car has.
1 official recall on record: ask for the chassis number (VIN) and confirm it has been done.

Typical faults by engine

The period and mileage are those mentioned by each sheet's sources. They are not a maintenance interval and do not predict that any particular car will fail.

Period mentioned
2022 onwards
Mileage mentioned
The sheet does not mention a mileage.
Applies if: Same E-Tech full hybrid 200 system; campaign 0E8K was documented on the Austral: confirm by VIN.

Official recalls: ask before you pay

A recall existing does not mean this car is affected or that it is still outstanding: it depends on the chassis number, the market and the production date.

Ask the seller for the chassis number (VIN): it has 17 characters, appears in the car's documents and can usually also be seen at the base of the windscreen.
Ask an official Renault dealer, or the brand's official website if it lets you check by chassis number, whether each recall has been done or is still outstanding for that VIN.
Manufacturer recalls are normally carried out free of charge by the official service network. If one is outstanding, ask for it to be done before you close the sale.

How to check it: Check the campaign by VIN at the dealer; meanwhile leave the car in gear or in P and check it does not move before getting out.

Gearbox

Look out for: Gearbox fault warning on the dashboard and limited performance; somewhat abrupt or slow shifts, typical of an unsynchronised gearbox.
Ask them to check: Check campaign 0E8K by VIN in the MyRenault app or at the dealer; if the warning appears, ask for the gearbox codes to be read.
