2015 Renault Twingo 0.9L Petrol · AU65 LXR

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT on August 22 2025 at 63,122 miles. While the most recent result shows a clean pass, the failure recorded just four days prior to that test indicates a period of mechanical neglect. The tester identified a fractured nearside rear coil spring, a major exhaust leak, and a failure to complete emissions tests. The fact that these issues were rectified immediately suggests the owner took a reactive approach to repairs rather than following a preventative maintenance schedule. The mileage profile is notably low for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,700 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage patterns with a climb from 36,396 miles in August 2021 to 63,122 miles in August 2025. This low annual mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, but it often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components. The 2021 advisory regarding a perished offside front tyre supports the theory that the car may have sat stationary for extended periods, leading to dry rot despite the low distance driven. A buyer should personally inspect the exhaust system thoroughly to ensure the major leak identified in 2025 was properly replaced and not merely patched. Given the previous failure of the coil spring, a close inspection of the remaining suspension springs and bushes for signs of corrosion or fatigue is necessary. Because the vehicle has low mileage but high age, you must also check for cracking in tyre sidewalls and pitting on brake discs, as these components age through time rather than just through mileage.
