AY19 UVR MOT History
Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.
5 MOT tests are recorded for this 2019 Renault Zoe (AY19 UVR) between January 2024 and January 2026.
The record contains 3 passes and 2 failures.
The most recent test on 13 January 2026 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 2 failures that buyers may want to investigate.
Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (9 issues), Tyres (6 issues), Windscreen (3 issues), Brakes (3 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
In total 15 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.
Recorded failure items include: “Offside Front Tyre has a bulge, caused by separation or partial failure of its structure (5.2.3 (d) (ii))”; “Nearside Front Service brake excessively fluctuating (1.2.1 (e))”; “Offside Rear Tyre has ply or cords exposed (5.2.3 (d) (ii))”.

Our Verdict
A sensible choice for urban drivers, provided the battery health is verified. The recent MOT history shows a clean record following previous minor failures.
When viewing this specific Zoe, your priority should be the battery's state of health (SOH), as high mileage on an electric vehicle can impact range. Ask the seller for a battery health report or diagnostic readout. Because this vehicle has covered much more mileage than the aggregate average for its age, ensure that any major service intervals have been met.
Negotiate based on the mileage; while the MOT history is relatively stable recently, the odometer reading is well above the typical 5,268 annual miles seen in this model group. Check that the charging cables (Type 2 and domestic) are included in the sale, as these are essential and can be expensive to replace.
As an electric vehicle, running costs are primarily driven by your electricity tariff and charging habits. Tax bands for the Zoe are generally low, and insurance groups vary depending on the specific trim level and driver profile.
Maintenance costs for this model tend to be lower than internal combustion engine equivalents due to fewer moving parts, though tyres and suspension components are common wear items. Expect annual running costs to be relatively predictable, provided the battery remains efficient.
Based on the aggregate data for Renault Zoes, you should pay close attention to the tyres, headlamps, and suspension arms, as these are the most frequent failure points for this model. Even though the 2026 MOT recorded no defects, these components should be physically inspected for wear or damage.
Given the mileage of 49,817, inspect the brake pads and discs; although electric cars use regenerative braking, they still require physical inspection. Additionally, check the condition of the suspension bushings and any signs of play in the steering, as these are common areas for MOT failures in this vehicle class.
This 2019 Blue Renault Zoe has covered 49,817 miles, which is significantly higher than the model average of 5,268 miles per year. While the mileage is elevated, the vehicle has passed its most recent MOT in January 2026 with no defects recorded. The history shows a pattern of passing after initial failures in 2024 and 2025, suggesting reactive maintenance has been carried out.
Aggregate data from nearly 10,000 vehicles shows a 78.2% MOT pass rate, with common issues relating to tyres, lighting, and suspension.

AI Analysis
Historical fault & advisory patterns
Common Problems: RENAULT ZOE
Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.
- Battery Charger Box (BCB) Failure(Serious)
The BCB is responsible for managing AC charging. It is a common failure point, often caused by internal component failure or moisture ingress. A failed BCB will prevent the car from charging on AC, though DC rapid charging (if fitted) may still work.
- Power Electronic Box (PEB) Failure(Serious)
The PEB (Inverter) converts DC from the battery to AC for the motor. Failure symptoms often start with intermittent power loss or unusual whining noises before total vehicle immobilisation.
- 12V battery electrical chaos(Serious)
A weak 12V battery is the root of most Zoe "breakdowns". It can cause "Check Electrical System" messages, charging failures, and total vehicle immobilisation.
- Suspension (Drop links and ball joints) wear(Moderate)
Due to the heavy battery pack, the Zoe’s front suspension components, particularly drop links and ball joints, wear faster than on a standard Clio.
- Charging port and flap failure(Moderate)
The locking pin for the Type 2 cable can fail, or the flap motor can seize, preventing the car from charging or releasing the cable.
