2014 Renault Twingo 1.0L Petrol · CX64 SXE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. While it passed its latest test in August 2025 at 82,811 miles, it failed that same inspection due to a fractured nearside front coil spring and multiple tyre defects. The transition from a clean 2022 record to recent failures suggests that the previous owner only addressed mechanical faults once they became a legal barrier to road use. The recorded mileage of 82,811 miles over 12 years reflects an average of approximately 6,900 miles per annum, which is consistent with a small city car of this age. There is a noticeable gap in records between December 2023 and August 2025, where the vehicle covered only 4,343 miles in nearly twenty months. This low-frequency use often correlates with the accelerated degradation of rubber components and the onset of surface corrosion, which is evidenced here by the fractured coil spring and underside surface corrosion noted in the 2025 test. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the suspension geometry, as the fractured coil spring indicates potential neglect of other wear items like bushes and dampers. The recurring mention of the offside front inner tyre worn on the edge across 2023 and 2025 suggests a persistent alignment issue or worn components that remains unaddressed. Furthermore, the noted underside corrosion should be closely inspected to ensure that rust has not progressed into structural thinning on the sills or subframe members.
