Renegade Night Eagle: a strong MOT record by UK norms

Across 803 MOT tests, the Renegade Night Eagle returns 86.9% first-time pass — comfortably ahead of the UK fleet average. The single most-logged Major fail is tyre tread under the limit. Windscreen damage and a seriously damaged tyre round out the top three. Average tested mileage sits at 22,390, which is the lens to read those failure rankings through.
