2016 Renault ZOE Electric · EX66 ABV

The 2016 Renault Zoe presents a stable roadworthiness profile, with no defects recorded in its last four MOT tests, including the most recent 2025-08-11 evaluation at 42,894 miles. The vehicle has maintained consistent compliance over 12 months, with no recurring issues or escalating faults. The absence of advisories or failures suggests the previous owner prioritized basic maintenance, though low mileage and potential storage periods may mask underlying wear. The mileage progression shows a gradual increase, averaging 4,289 miles annually, which is below typical usage for a 10-year-old vehicle. Notable gaps include 7,731 miles covered between 2022-01-06 (28,734 miles) and 2022-12-23 (36,465 miles), followed by a 415-mile jump over eight months to 2023-08-24 (36,880 miles). This irregularity raises questions about usage patterns, as prolonged inactivity could affect components like the battery, suspension bushes, or brake calipers. The subsequent steady rise to 42,894 miles indicates renewed use but lacks data to confirm long-term reliability. A buyer should verify the battery’s condition, as low mileage and potential storage may degrade its capacity. Inspect the underbody for corrosion, particularly around the chassis and exhaust system, and check suspension components for stiffness or wear. While the MOT history shows no immediate risks, the vehicle’s maintenance pattern suggests a need for thorough mechanical scrutiny, especially regarding electrical systems and fluid integrity, to confirm it has not suffered from prolonged idleness.
