2025 Renault 5 Iconic E-Tech EV Electricity · AF75 LCG

There is no MOT record available for the 2025 Renault 5 Iconic E‑Tech, so no recent test outcome can be quoted and consequently no trend in pass or fail results can be established; the absence of data simply means the vehicle’s roadworthiness cannot be judged from MOT history alone. Mileage for this example is not supplied, which prevents any direct comparison of usage against the vehicle’s age. As a 2025 model the car is roughly one year old, and a typical private‑owner annual mileage in the UK ranges from 7 000 to 10 000 mi. If the odometer later shows a low figure this would imply limited use and relatively little wear on mechanical components, whereas a high figure would suggest intensive use and accelerated wear on tyres, brakes and suspension elements. For an electric vehicle of this vintage the most critical inspection points relate to the high‑voltage battery pack and its ancillary systems. Verify that the battery management system displays no fault codes, that the state‑of‑charge indicator is consistent with the charging history, and that a diagnostic read‑out shows capacity close to the original specification; a loss of more than 10 % of rated capacity in a one‑year‑old pack would be a cause for concern. Examine the charging inlet and high‑voltage cable connectors for signs of corrosion, loose pins or damaged insulation, and confirm that the on‑board charger operates without unusual heating or audible whine. While EVs have fewer fluids, the coolant for the battery thermal‑management system should be checked for correct level, colour and any signs of leakage, and the brake fluid should be inspected for moisture content, as EVs still rely on hydraulic brakes for low‑speed stopping. During a test drive listen for any abnormal wind or road noise that could indicate deteriorated door seals or body panel corrosion, and feel for consistent steering feedback without excessive play that would point to worn steering rack bushings. Inspect the tyre sidewalls for cracking, dry rot or age‑related hardening; even on low‑mileage cars tyres can perish after three to four years, so the DOT date code should be no later than 2023. Check the tread depth across the width of each tyre and verify that the tyre pressures hold steady when the vehicle is stationary. Finally, confirm that the brake discs are free of deep rust spots or scoring, that the pads have adequate thickness, and that the regenerative‑braking feel is smooth and without judder. A full service book with recent software updates and any recall work recorded will give additional confidence that the vehicle has been maintained in line with Renault’s recommendations.
