2022 Renault ZOE Play EV 50 Electricity · BV22 PRZ

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate, but the record indicates a trend of maintenance deterioration rather than stability. The most recent test on 2026-03-09 passed without defects, yet this was followed by two failed tests on 2026-03-06 and 2025-03-10, with the first failing occurring approximately 18 months prior. This sequence suggests that while the vehicle has been inspected, the underlying mechanical condition has deteriorated, with the most critical failure occurring in the early 2026 period. The vehicle's age of roughly seven years combined with a mileage of 29,340 miles places it in the category of a standard used car, where mileage alone does not always equate to safety, especially given the history of two separate failures. The specific faults recorded for the first failed test on 2026-03-06 highlight significant structural risks that require immediate attention. The record documents two distinct issues: a cut in the nearside front tyre that is deep enough to reach the ply or cords (5.2.3 (d) (i)), and a cut in the offside front tyre of the same depth. Furthermore, the nearside front tyre also exhibits a cut that is insufficient to reach the ply or cords, indicating a potential wear pattern that may not be addressed by routine replacement. These defects are not minor consumables; they represent structural integrity failures that could lead to a complete loss of the vehicle's safety profile if not corrected immediately. The fact that the second and third tests were also failed reinforces that the vehicle has not been properly maintained since the initial failure. Given the recurring faults and the specific nature of the cuts, the buyer must inspect the vehicle in person to assess the condition of the suspension, brake discs, and structural integrity. The nearside front tyre cut and the offside front tyre cut are particularly concerning, as they may affect the vehicle's handling and braking performance. If the buyer is unable to verify the condition of the tyre cords or the brake disc wear, they should be advised that the vehicle may not meet the safety standards for roadworthiness. A thorough visual inspection of the suspension components and the braking system is essential to determine whether these structural risks have been resolved or if further maintenance is required before the vehicle can be sold.
