2015 Renault Twingo 1.0L Petrol · F7 ODF

The vehicle is currently in a state of poor roadworthiness with a worsening trend in mechanical neglect. The most recent test on 14 May 2026 at 76,844 miles resulted in multiple failures that indicate a significant decline in preventative maintenance. While the car passed in 2025, the 2026 failure reveals critical issues across the front-end suspension, lighting, and emissions control systems. This progression suggests that the previous owner has only addressed faults when forced by testing rather than performing routine inspections. At 76,844 miles over eleven years, the Twingo averages approximately 7,000 miles per annum, which aligns with typical low-use urban driving. The mileage data shows a consistent usage pattern of roughly 5,000 miles per year between 2023 and 2026. However, the low mileage has not protected the vehicle from component wear. The recurring issues with uneven tyre wear across the last three tests suggest that the vehicle may suffer from poor alignment or neglected suspension-related rubber components, despite the low total distance travelled. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension geometry, as the record shows a history of worn ball joints, track rod ends, and arm bushes. The 2026 failure specifically flagged the offside front suspension arm ball joint and the nearside front arm bush as excessively worn, which follows a similar fault noted in 2025. The persistent play in the steering rack inner joints from 2023 also indicates a long-term issue with the steering assembly that does not appear to have been resolved. The emissions failure regarding the exhaust lambda reading outside specified limits suggests a potential issue with the oxygen sensor or the catalyticer, which could be costly to rectify. Furthermore, the missing nearside front fog light and inoperative reversing lamp point to a lack of basic exterior equipment checks. Given the recurring reports of tyres wearing on the inner edges, the buyer should verify that a professional wheel alignment has been performed following any necessary suspension repairs to prevent premature tyre failure.
