2011 Renault Wind 1.1L Petrol · MGZ 2054

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 10 June 2026 at 70 887 miles passed, yet the tester recorded several advisories that indicate a decline in condition compared with the 2025 test. Nearside rear parking brake efficiency was only just met, suggesting the braking system needs adjustment or repair. Slight play was noted in the nearside front suspension arm ball joint, a corroded offside rear brake pipe, worn rear brake discs and thin inner rear brake pads. These findings show the maintenance trend is worsening in the short term, moving from the relatively clean 2025 result to a more fault‑laden 2026 outcome. Mileage accumulation has remained steady at roughly 4 500–5 300 miles per year, a low figure for a 15‑year‑old car. The gap between the 2025 (66 848 mi) and 2026 (70 887 mi) tests is 4 039 miles over a twelve‑month period, consistent with the historical pattern. The MOT entries are all clustered in June each year, providing a regular but sparse data set that does not reveal any sudden mileage spikes or long gaps in service. A prospective buyer should inspect the rear braking circuit closely, checking the parking brake’s operation, the condition of the rear discs and the inner pads for uneven wear. The nearside front suspension ball joint and anti‑roll bar linkage should be examined for excess play, as should the track rod ends on both sides. The offside rear brake pipe shows corrosion and should be inspected for leaks or deterioration. Tyre condition remains a concern: the nearside front tyre was already worn close to the legal limit in 2024, and a cut was recorded in 2024 as well, so tread depth and sidewall integrity need verification. Finally, the presence of under‑trays fitted in earlier years may obscure underside components, so a thorough underside inspection is advisable to assess corrosion and structural integrity.
