2015 Renault ZOE Electric · SB15 ACU

The vehicle demonstrates a stable roadworthiness record, with the most recent 2024-06-12 test at 31,906 miles confirming no defects. All subsequent tests from 2021 to 2024 show consistent passing results, with only a single failed test in 2022-06-21 at 29,111 miles. However, the absence of defect details on that failure limits analysis. No recurring mechanical issues are evident in the documented history, suggesting the owner maintained the vehicle to meet legal standards. The low mileage of 31,906 over 11 years indicates infrequent use, which may affect component longevity despite the clean MOT record. The mileage progression shows gradual accumulation, with annual increases of approximately 1,000–1,800 miles. A notable gap between 2021-06-22 (28,280 miles) and 2022-06-21 (29,111 miles) suggests a 137-mile jump over 12 months, followed by a 1,769-mile rise to 29,138 miles by 2022-06-27. This pattern aligns with low annual usage, which could lead to issues like battery degradation or fluid stagnation in an electric vehicle. The 2022-06-21 failure without recorded defects raises questions about the test’s accuracy or unresolved minor faults, though subsequent tests show no further concerns. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the battery’s condition, as low mileage may mask age-related wear. Suspension components, including bushes and coil springs, should be checked for stiffness or wear, as infrequent use can cause premature degradation. The underbody and exhaust system require scrutiny for corrosion, a risk in vehicles with prolonged inactivity. While the MOT history lacks structural or braking defects, the 2022 failure warrants verification that all issues were resolved. No advisories indicate immediate risks, but the vehicle’s usage pattern necessitates a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm its mechanical integrity.
