2022 Renault ZOE GT ED Rapid Charge EV 50 Electricity · AF22 ULV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a concerning trend regarding tyre condition. While the car passed its most recent test in April 2026 at 18,574 miles, this followed a failure just six weeks prior at 18,559 miles. The failure revealed multiple defects across three tyres, including a cut reaching the cords and sidewall cracking, suggesting that the previous owner neglected basic tyre maintenance until the MOT test forced action. The mileage profile is low for a four-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,644 miles per year. A significant gap exists between the March 2025 test at 14,320 miles and the early 2026 tests, during which the car covered only 4,239 miles. This low annual usage often results in the vehicle sitting for long periods, which likely explains the cracking and perishing of the tyre sidewalls noted by the tester in 2026 despite the high remaining tread depth. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of all four tyres to ensure no further perishing or structural damage remains in the rubber. The recurring nature of the sidewall faults suggests the rubber compound is degrading due to age and lack of use rather than wear. You should also check brake discs for corrosion or seizing, as low-mileage electric vehicles frequently suffer from rust buildup on braking components when not used regularly enough to clear the surface.
