2010 Renault Twingo 1.1L Petrol · BD60 EWF

The vehicle presents a concerning maintenance profile characterized by a clear trend of reactive repairs rather than preventative care. While the most recent recorded test in June 2022 at 109,994 miles was a pass, it followed a failure just two days prior due to multiple safety and emissions-related defects. Given that no MOT data has been recorded since June 2022, the vehicle is currently four years overdue for its annual inspection. This significant gap in testing suggests the car may have sat stationary or operated without legal compliance for several years. The mileage progression shows 109,994 miles covered over 16 years, averaging roughly 6,875 miles per year. However, the data reveals a distinct burst of usage of nearly 9,000 miles between June 2020 and June 2021, followed by another 18,500 miles in the following year. This pattern of high-intensity use followed by a apparent total lack of records for the last four years is a major red flag for the potential degradation of rubber components, fluids, and the braking system. A buyer must scrutinise the structural integrity of the offside front section, as the 2021 test flagged a fracture in the box section. Although the tester noted structural rigidity was not reduced at that time, such fractures are prone to accelerated corrosion. The history also shows recurring issues with the steering and suspension, specifically noting play in the steering rack, track rod ends, and anti-roll bar bushes. These mechanical failures indicate the front-end assembly has undergone significant wear and likely requires comprehensive inspection. The presence of an oil leak and a front exhaust leak in 2022 necessitates a physical inspection of the engine gaskets and manifold to determine the current severity. The distorted offside rear wheel rim and repeated tyre failures in previous tests suggest a history of minimal attention to basic maintenance. Because the vehicle has not been tested or recorded in four years, the current state of the tyres, brake discs, and battery is entirely unknown, making a thorough mechanical survey essential before any purchase.
