2022 Renault ZOE Play EV 50 Electric · FE22 XFZ

The Renault Zoe presents a stable and fully compliant roadworthiness record. The most recent MOT, conducted on 26 March 2026 at 24,124 miles, passed with zero defects. The preceding test on 18 March 2025 at 18,804 miles also passed cleanly. This back-to-back clean-sheet record indicates the vehicle has been maintained to a high standard, with no recurring mechanical or structural faults flagged by the tester. The mileage accumulation is consistent and predictable. Over the twelve-month interval between tests, the vehicle covered 5,320 miles, which aligns with the overall annualised average of approximately 6,031 miles. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden spikes in the odometer readings. For a battery-electric vehicle, this steady usage pattern is beneficial. It suggests the battery has been subjected to regular charge and discharge cycles rather than sitting idle for extended periods, which can degrade cell health. Despite the clean MOT history, a physical inspection remains essential. The Zoe's electric powertrain eliminates traditional engine wear, but the chassis and suspension components demand scrutiny. A buyer should inspect the front suspension lower arms and bushes for play, as these are common wear items on the Renault-Nissan CMF-EV platform. The rear beam axle and its mounting points should be checked for corrosion, particularly if the vehicle has been stored near coastal areas or used on salted roads. The braking system requires a hands-on assessment. Electric vehicles rely heavily on regenerative braking, meaning the friction brakes can suffer from surface corrosion and caliper seizure due to low usage. Inspect the rear brake discs and pads for scoring or lipping, and ensure the caliper slides move freely. Check the tyre sidewalls for perishing and the tread depth across all four corners, as the instant torque delivery of the electric motor can accelerate uneven wear on the driven axle. Finally, verify the charge port condition and the high-voltage cable routing underneath the car for any signs of impact damage or chafing.
