2015 Renault ZOE Electricity · D8 XVG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on 31 October 2025. While the previous years were clean, the most recent test indicates a sudden dip in maintenance standards regarding the front end assembly. The failure on 30 October 2025 revealed multiple significant issues including excessively worn anti-roll bar linkage ball joints and suspension arm ball joints. Although these were addressed to secure the subsequent pass, the simultaneous failure of multiple suspension faults suggests a reactive approach to repairs rather than preventative care. At 45,905 miles over eleven years, this Renault Zoe shows a significantly low average mileage of approximately 4,173 miles per year. The usage pattern remained consistent between 2022 and 2024, with annual increments of roughly 4,000 miles. However, the jump of 3,724 miles recorded between November 2024 and October 2025 shows a slight increase in activity. Low-mile vehicles often suffer from accelerated corrosion on braking components and rubber bushings from inactivity, which may align with the pitting observed on the front brake discs. A buyer should physically inspect the front suspension thoroughly to ensure the recent repairs to the ball joints and linkages were executed correctly and that no play remains. The tester specifically flagged both front brake discs as pitted and scored in October 2025; while they passed the test, the surface condition suggests the discs are nearing replacement or are already compromised. Given the low mileage, also check for signs of brake caliper seizing or cracking in rubber suspension boots, which are common in vehicles that sit stationary for long periods.
