2017 Renault Twingo 1.0L Petrol · DV17 OFU

The most recent MOT test on 2026-04-09 at 29,682 miles resulted in a clean PASSED grade, indicating the vehicle is currently roadworthy. The previous test on 2026-04-08 at 29,657 miles failed due to severe issues with the front offside tyre, specifically exposed ply and cords, alongside the nearside front tyre having a tread pattern obscured by excessive wear. The pattern shows a significant maintenance improvement trend; the vehicle has progressed from failing multiple tyre defects in 2025 to passing cleanly in 2026, suggesting the previous owner addressed the tyre problems promptly. The vehicle's low annual mileage of approximately 3,298 miles over nine years equates to 29,682 miles total, which is notably below the average for its age. This light usage indicates minimal wear on the suspension, brakes, and drivetrain, but it also suggests the car may have spent considerable time stationary, which can cause issues such as flat spots on tyres, degraded brake calipers, and battery weakness. The MOT record is relatively clean, with only two notable failures in 2025 directly linked to tyre degradation, and no structural or exhaust-related defects recorded. A potential buyer should conduct a thorough in-person inspection of the suspension system, focusing on the front and rear suspension bushes and coil springs, as prolonged storage can cause these components to deteriorate. The brake system requires attention, particularly the front offside brake calliper, which has shown signs of binding or sticking in previous tests. Additionally, the steering rack mounting should be checked for any signs of corrosion or damage. Given the car's low mileage and recent clean MOT, the mechanical condition appears sound, but these specific areas warrant verification.
