2014 Renault Twingo 1.0L Petrol · KK14 BLK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a worsening trend regarding structural and suspension integrity. While the most recent MOT test in April 2026 at 46,239 miles passed, it followed immediately a significant failure due to a fractured nearside front coil spring and a seriously weakened nearside front Macpherson strut. The presence of a hole in the strut spring seat indicates advanced corrosion that has reached a critical point, requiring immediate attention to ensure structural safety despite the vehicle's overall pass status. At 46,239 miles over twelve years, this Twingo has seen exceptionally low usage, averaging approximately 3,853 miles per year. This low mileage often correlates with the issues seen in the record, such as brake pitting and component corrosion. Between the April 2024 test at 38,540 miles and the April 2026 test at 46,239 miles, the car covered only 7,699 miles, yet it suffered multiple mechanical failures that suggest time-related degradation rather than high mechanical wear. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension to ensure the repairs made to the nearside strut and coil spring were executed correctly. The record shows a recurring pattern of worn and pitted front brake discs across 2024, 2025, and 2026, suggesting the owner has consistently neglected replacing these components until they reached inspection limits. You should also check for further corrosion on the offside front Macpherson strut, as the 2026 test already flagged heavy corrosion on that seat, which likely follows the path of the failed nearside component.
