2015 Renault ZOE Electric · BT65 ABZ

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 12 January 2026, though the maintenance trend shows signs of neglect regarding basic consumable upkeep. While the car passed its most recent inspection, the tester identified play in the nearside front lower suspension arm ball joint and noted that all four tyres are worn close to the legal limit or exhibit uneven edge wear. This indicates that the previous owner failed to address fundamental chassis and tyre maintenance before presenting the vehicle for testing, resulting in a failed attempt just four days prior due to a combination of lighting defects and the aforementioned suspension wear. The recorded mileage of 68,712 miles over an eleven-year lifespan averages approximately 6,247 miles per year, which is consistent with typical light-to-moderate usage for this model. The history shows a steady accumulation of roughly 6,000 to 7,000 miles between annual tests, suggesting the vehicle has been in regular operation rather than sitting idle for extended periods. There are no significant gaps in the testing cycle, and the clean records from 2024 and 2025 imply that the car was generally well-maintained until the most recent test cycle. Prospective buyers should prioritise a physical inspection of the front suspension components, specifically the nearside lower ball joint, to determine if the play noted in January has worsened or been rectified. You must also budget for a full set of tyres, as the uneven wear patterns suggest a potential tracking or alignment issue that requires professional adjustment to prevent premature replacement of new rubber. Finally, verify the functionality of all exterior lighting, as the recurring failures involving stop lamps and registration plate bulbs point to either poor electrical maintenance or intermittent wiring issues that could persist if not properly investigated.
