2015 Renault Twingo 0.9L Petrol · CX65 SSZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the recent history reveals a pattern of reactive maintenance rather than proactive care. While it passed the latest test in April 2026 at 72,197 miles, this followed a significant failure just one month prior at 72,030 miles. That failure highlighted multiple critical safety issues, including worn suspension ball joints and anti-roll bar linkages, alongside lighting and mirror defects, suggesting that components are only addressed once they reach the point of MOT non-compliance. At 72,197 miles, the eleven-year-old Twingo averages approximately 6,500 miles per year, which is consistent with typical low-intensity urban use. The data shows a notable gap in testing between September 2024 and April 2025, where the vehicle covered roughly 3,700 miles in seven months. The rapid accumulation of over 8,600 miles between April 2025 and April 2026 indicates a recent period of higher usage, which correlates with the accelerated wear of components noted in the most recent inspections. A buyer must personally inspect the front suspension closely, as the record shows repeated failures of ball joints and anti-roll bar links in the 2026 test. The braking system also requires scrutiny; the September 2024 failure for a binding offside front caliper and a seriously weakened disc indicates that the braking components may have suffered from heat-related damage or neglect. Furthermore, the recurring presence of tyres worn to the legal limit across multiple years (2024 and 2026) suggests the previous owner frequently neglected basic consumable maintenance, delaying replacements until a test failure occurs.
