2015 Renault Twingo 0.9L Petrol · AV65 XML

The most recent MOT on 2025-10-04 showed the vehicle passed with three recorded issues: front brake discs were worn, pitted, or scored but not seriously weakened; front and rear suspension components were corroded; and the tyre pressure monitor light was on. Undertrays were fitted, which may indicate prior corrosion protection. These findings suggest gradual wear and exposure to environmental factors. The 2023 MOT noted a nearside rear tyre worn close to the legal limit and a slight play in the offside front anti-roll bar linkage. These issues were not repeated in later tests, indicating they may have been addressed or were isolated. The 2022-10-14 failure was due to an exhaust lambda reading outside limits, but this was resolved by the 2025 test. Overall, the pattern shows occasional minor defects rather than systemic deterioration. The vehicle’s mileage of 56,277 miles over 11 years equates to roughly 5,116 miles per year, which is low for its age. This could imply lighter use or periods of inactivity, which might contribute to corrosion (as seen in the suspension components) rather than typical wear from frequent driving. However, low mileage does not guarantee mechanical health, as components like brakes and tyres can degrade when not regularly used.
