Est. repair cost: £100–£200
Suspension (Drop links and ball joints) wear

Buying Tips for the 2022 Renault Zoe
- ✓Confirm if the battery is "i" (owned) or leased; a lease adds a monthly cost of £49–£110
- ✓Check the health of the 12V battery; if it is over 3 years old, replace it immediately to avoid random electrical failures
- ✓Listen for "milling" or whining noises from the motor, which can indicate bearing wear
- ✓Ensure the charging cable locks correctly and the flap mechanism operates smoothly
- ✓Inspect front suspension bushes and drop links, as the Zoe’s weight wears them out quickly
