Renault Modus build years & generations

Coverage 2004-20082 named generationsHatchbackDIESEL / PETROL

The Renault Modus spans several build years and named generations (2004-2008). Match a build year to its generation, then see how each group of build years does at its MOT.

Which year is which

Build years & generations, side by side

Find the build years you're looking at and see which generation they are. You'll also see which group of build years the MOT figures come from.

  • Built 2004

    Generation
    J77 (1st gen)
    Figures from
    cars built before 2005

    Counted with every car built before 2005, so much older cars can affect the figures.

  • Built 2005-2008

    Generation
    J77 (1st gen)
    Figures from
    cars built 2005-2008

    Counted together with J77 (1st gen) and J77 (Grand Modus / facelift) cars built in the same years.

  • Built 2008

    Generation
    J77 (Grand Modus / facelift)
    Figures from
    cars built 2005-2008

    Counted together with J77 (1st gen) and J77 (Grand Modus / facelift) cars built in the same years.

“Figures from” is the group of build years behind each card's MOT figures. Years where one generation gave way to the next can sit in a wider group until there's enough history to split them.

By build-year group

How each group of build years performs

Each card shows MOT results for one group of Renault Modus build years. “Age” means the car's age on the day of its MOT, not its build year. “25+” groups every test on cars aged 25 or older.

A mix of J77 (1st gen) and J77 (Grand Modus / facelift)

These build years include both J77 (1st gen) and J77 (Grand Modus / facelift) cars, so the figures are less exact than for a single generation.
